The sole contact between the car and the road is a patch of tire the size of a postcard. Only if they fully trust their tires can drivers rely on their cars to go, turn, and stop as they expect. Bridgestone's passionate commitment to safety and comfort inspires and sets new standards of technological advancement.
Bridgestone puts the principle of safety first through all stages of the tire lifecycle, from development to production, sale, and use. In tire design and development, we've defined our three core elements as safety, comfort, and being environmentally friendly, and we will invest the resources to ensure that our tires continue to deliver on all three fronts. Striking a harmonious balance among the three elements will allow us to achieve ever-higher levels of value as our users “enjoy the surprise” provided by our products.
The self supporting Run-Flat tire has reinforced sidewalls to support the load of vehicle even after a loss of tire pressure. This system is best suited for cars with lower aspect ratio tires such as coupe sports cars.
