Bridgestone B290

The Bridgestone B290 is made for performance. It performs well in wet and dry conditions and the tread patter allows one to brake even in wet conditions. To reduce the noise created while driving, Bridgestone has carved five different tread blocks on the tyre. The smallest tyre offered by Bridgestone in the B290 series has a size of135/70 R12 which are suitable for smaller cars such as the Tata Nano while the largest size that the B290 series has is sized 205/55 R16 which is suitable for vehicles such as the Maruti Suzuki swift, Tata Indica etc. The channel created on the surface of the tyre ensures resistance to aquaplaning which means that the water which comes in contact with tyre patch is channeled through the grooves to exit from the surface so that the tyre can get more traction in wet conditions. The braking capacity increases and a shorter braking distance can be expected from the Bridgestone B290 series.
