Bridgestone RE71 Denloc

High Performance: High Performance tires are engineered for drivers who demand superior handling, agility, and road grip. They utilize advanced, softer rubber compounds and a stiffer internal structure to maximize road contact, resulting in exceptionally responsive steering, greater stability through corners, and shorter braking distances. This singular focus on dynamic capability typically comes at the expense of a shorter tread life and a firmer, more connected ride compared to standard touring tires.

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.
