Bridgestone 009874 Turanza ER300 Run Flat 245/45R18 96Y Summer Touring Tire

The Bridgestone Turanza ER300 Run Flat (RFT) is a high-performance summer touring tire engineered for passenger vehicles seeking a blend of sporty capability, ride comfort, and run-flat safety. Selected as original equipment by premium automakers including Mercedes-Benz and Mini Cooper, this tire delivers the confidence and refinement expected by discerning drivers.

Run-Flat Technology

Built with a reinforced internal structure and heat-resistant rubber sidewalls, the Turanza ER300 RFT can continue to be driven for up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph after a complete loss of air pressure. This eliminates the need for an immediate roadside tire change and keeps you moving safely to a nearby service location. Note: Run-flat tires must not be mixed with standard non-run-flat tires on the same vehicle.

Key Features:

• Asymmetric Tread Design – The outside shoulder enhances dry-road grip and cornering stability, while the inner tread section delivers strong wet-weather traction and braking performance.
• Water Evacuation Grooves – Lateral and circumferential grooves channel water from beneath the contact patch, resisting hydroplaning in wet conditions.
• High Transverse Stiffness Tread Blocks – Improve lateral grip and precise cornering response.
• Solid Longitudinal Rib – Promotes responsive, stable steering feel at all speeds.
• Silica-Based Fuel-Saving Tread Compound – Bridgestone's Ecopia-derived low rolling resistance compound reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions without sacrificing wet traction.
• Low-Wearing Tread Compound – Engineered for extended, even tread wear and long service life.
• Optimized Carcass Construction – Round block edges reduce road noise and improve ride comfort for a quiet, refined driving experience.

The Turanza ER300 RFT carries a UTQG rating of 320 AA, a load index of 96 (1,565 lbs max load), and a Y speed rating (up to 186 mph). With a tread depth of 9/32", an overall diameter of approximately 26.7", and a maximum inflation pressure of 51 PSI, this tire is purpose-built for high-performance luxury sedans and coupes demanding the very best in summer road performance.
