Bridgestone R238
This model is a high-quality all-position tire developed especially to improve fuel usage, tread wear, high traction, offering more load/people safety. It is designed to be used in high scrub environments in regional P&D applications, but also to be fitted on busses and coaches.
The R238 comes with an advanced high scrub tread compound molded into an optimized tread pattern that presents a five-rib with a large footprint for better pressure distribution providing increased mileage, adherence, and more stability. It uses a variable tread depth such as 15/32”, 16/32”, 17/32”, and 18/32” deep tread pattern to promote casing durability, managing road shocks, and other hazards. Bridgestone engineers use patented NanoPro-Tech polymer technology designed to limit energy loss for lower rolling resistance.
For safety reasons this model has wider belts designed to extend to the shoulder area for good casing durability. Four wide, deep circumferential grooves provide high aquaplaning resistance by better water and slush dispersion from under the footprint, improving wet braking and traction performance. Due to the wide, solid shoulder ribs this model delivers enhanced resistance to maneuvering scrub and increased tread life.
Bridgestone R238 is available with 17.5 and 19.5-inch sizes backed by long-lasting treadwear being one of the best all-position/steer position options for a wide range of commercial vehicles used in goods and people transportation, but also in some construction applications.
