Bridgestone B381
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone B381 is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles.
The tire offers great all season traction. The symmetric ribbed tread design, with the optimal details, and the all season compound improve dry, wet, and winter weather grip. Their combination enables the tire to increase its grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible throughout the performance. Circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions, by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint.
The ribbed tread design enables the tire to maintain surface contact while the tires are in motion. This enables the tire to increase steering responsiveness and driving stability. Quick and precise steering responses are guaranteed, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern enables the tire to improve its cornering ability. They provide biting edges that grip the road surface, which offers better maneuvering.
The Bridgestone B381 utilizes the ribbed tread design to ensure a comfortable performance. This tread design helps to lower road noise and vibrations reaching the vehicle's cabin. The tread channels airwaves through the footprint, avoiding sound wave formations. Its close road contact, on the other hand, absorbs the driving shock, lessening road vibrations. This combination ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
This specific tire is marked with OE as it is the original equipment tire of select vehicles.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
