Bridgestone Dueler H/P Sport RFT

Run Flat: Run Flat tires are engineered to allow continued, limited driving even after a puncture and a complete loss of air pressure. This extended mobility is achieved through different technologies, including heavily reinforced sidewalls that support the vehicle's weight, an internal support-ring system, or self-sealing liners that can plug punctures automatically. The primary benefit is the safety and convenience of reaching a service center without a roadside stop, often eliminating the need for a spare tire. Due to their specialized construction, they typically have a firmer ride, a higher replacement cost, and are often unrepairable after a run-flat event.

Summer: Summer tires are engineered for peak performance in warm weather, delivering superior grip and responsive handling on both dry and wet roads. They utilize a specialized, stickier rubber compound that provides maximum road contact for precision cornering and shorter braking distances. While they excel at channeling away water to prevent hydroplaning, their performance compound hardens and loses critical traction as temperatures drop near freezing, making them unsafe and unsuitable for use in snow, ice, or any cold winter conditions. They are the ideal choice for performance vehicles and drivers who prioritize agility and grip in warmer months.

Ultra High Performance: Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires represent the pinnacle of street-legal tire technology, engineered for supercars, exotic vehicles, and the most demanding driving enthusiasts. They utilize cutting-edge, race-inspired compounds and an extremely rigid construction to provide the absolute maximum in road-holding grip, razor-sharp steering precision, and superior braking power. This uncompromising focus on ultimate performance results in a significantly shorter tread life and a very firm ride.
