Product description

  • High performance all season tyre for cars.
  • Shorter braking distances on wet roads.
  • Safety and mobility in snowy conditions.

Developed by Bridgestone engineers to deliver year round performance, the Weather Control A005 all season tyre guarantees safety on wet and snow covered roads.

Safety. The Nano ProTech compound with a high silica content delivers a high level of performance in wet conditions. Water is quickly dispersed through numerous lateral grooves to provide superior grip. This is confirmed by the best rating for wet grip, an A-grade. In wet weather, the Weather Control holds the road when cornering thanks to the high number of blocks on the shoulder area.

Snow. The V-shaped tread with a high number of blocks efficiently transfers traction forces on snow covered surfaces, even on slopes. The tyre is 3PMSF certified following tests in snowy conditions.

Service life. The internal structure evenly distributes the contact pressure across the footprint to avoid uneven wear and extend tyre life.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
