Bridgestone Tyres Praised in Which? Test
Bridgestone’s premium high-performance and touring
tyres have received praise from Which?, the UK’s leading
consumer watchdog magazine.
Which? magazine tested 30 tyres in varying sizes from
mainstream manufacturers, with Bridgestone’s Turanza
ER300 rated the top tyre in the 14-inch class, and its
high-performance Potenza RE050A tyre named as ‘Best buy’
in the 17-inch category.
The comprehensive study tested the tyres for a variety
of attributes, including dry braking, wet braking, wear,
noise, and dry handling. Both the Bridgestone tyres
fared well in all these categories, particularly in dry
handling where they were given top ratings.
“These results are tremendously encouraging for us,”
said Andy Lane, marketing manager at Bridgestone UK. “We
invest a great deal of time and money in ensuring our
products are among the safest, most reliable, and most
comfortable on the market, and this test suggests that
investment is paying off.”
Turanza ER300 touring tyre was declared the top tyre in
the 14-inch class. Described as having the ‘best dry
grip in this size’, with ‘excellent wet braking’
capabilities, the tyre achieved an impressive 70 per
cent score across all criteria, a full five per cent
more than its nearest rival.
The Potenza RE050A is available in 32 sizes, ranging
from 225/50 R16 to 285/30 R19, and the Turanza ER300 is
available in 30 sizes, from 185/60 R14 H to 225/45 ZR17.
The tyres can be purchased from First Stop outlets and
other major tyre retailers. |
