Bridgetone Weather Control A005 DriveGuard has two advantages. The first is the technology that will make the tyre work all year round. The second is the DriveGuard system, which allows driving after a loss of air.
Although Weather Control A005 was designed on the basis of a summer tyre, it will work well all year round. Thanks to its winter homologation, the tyres can be used even in the Alpine countries. There are regulations that require the use of winter approved tyres, and difficult conditions mean that driving an unsuitable tyre can end up in a precipice.
DriveGuard technology makes driving on Bridgetone Weather Control A005 possible, even after a puncture. The manufacturer shall ensure that 80 km can be driven at 80 km/h after a breakdown. In order for the tyre to be fitted, the car must be equipped with the TPMS pressure control system.
Bridgetone Weather Control A005 DriveGuard also has a tread shape that resembles the letter V. It reduces fuel consumption and ensures that the tyre lasts longer. In addition, the weight of the car is better distributed.
