| FCP Tyre Profile |
| Unlike conventional rounded tyre profiles, Bridgestone's Flat Contact Patch (FCP) provides a better contact area where the tread touches the road. This profile also prevents tyre deformations while minimising shoulder wear for longer tyre life. |
| Silica Tread Compound |
| An advanced silica tread compound realises unparalleled performance on wet roads and high efficiency for lower rolling resistance. |
| Refined comfort |
| Advanced tread design silences road noise and cushions shocks for the highest level of driving comfort on every road surface. |

|
| Superior wet performance |
| New rubber polymers, tread-blocks and main groove design ensure safety on wet roads while minimising the chance of hydroplaning. |
| High durability |
| High-durability tread compounds and an improved tyre profile minimise tread wear, while reinforced casings and rim protectors guard against cuts and punctures. |
| 5-Pitch Variable Tread and 3D Triangle Blocks |
| The AR-20 design randomly varies the pitch of five different-sized tread-blocks to greatly reduce tread pattern noise. Large centre blocks with 3D tread grooves deliver the utmost grip for better driving safety, even on the wettest roads. |
| CAUTIONS |
Replacing Tyres
- When replacing tyres, it is advisable to select tyres based on the size, ply rating and maximum load capability of the original tyre.
- Check rim for any irregularities or damage before assembling.
- Mounting tyres, fitting the beads and inflating the tyres must be always conducted in the safety cage to protect the tyre fitter from explosion.
- To assure that the tyre is properly mounted, the distance between the rim line and rim flange should be uniform around the circumference of the rim.
- Check that the tyres are not touching the vehicle body.
- While upsizing, the load index and speed symbol should be the same or higher.
|
| Mixing of Tyres |
- The mixed application of different type tyres and/or tyre sizes on the same axle can adversely affect manoeuvrability, stability and braking because of differences in tyre performance characteristics and tyre deformation
|
| Tyre Storage |
- When storing tyres, avoid direct sunlight, ozone, moisture, petroleum products and extremely high ambient temperatures
|
| Tyre Inflation Pressure |
- Most tyre trouble is caused by incorrect inflation pressure. This seriously affects driving performance and tyre life.
- Adjust pressure when tyre is cool.
- Avoid running at high speeds under inflation pressure.
