Bridgestone Helps Drivers Gear Up for Summer Roads

Bridgestone provides helpful guidance on how to choose the best tyres for your driving needs, road conditions,
and safety

Road travel increases significantly during holidays or summer, prompting many drivers to change their vehicle’s tyres for safer
journeys. However, selecting the right tyres is not always straightforward, as numerous factors must be considered. Bridgestone, a
global leader in premium tyres and sustainable mobility solutions, offers tips to help you make the right choice when buying
tyres.

Only Approved Tyres

When replacing your car’s tyres, you should consult the vehicle’s technical documentation for the tyre dimensions and see all the
‘equivalent’ alternatives based on load capacity index, speed category, identical outer diameter (with a ±3% tolerance), and the
corresponding rim profile.

You can find the tyre’s dimensions and specifications on the sidewall marking. For example, a 205/55 R16 89V tyre includes:

Width: 205 mm

Aspect ratio: 55 (height/width ratio expressed as a percentage)
