NASHVILLE, Tenn. (April 14, 2004) - The new Bridgestone R195F trailer radial combines exceptional irregular wear-fighting designs for longer original tread life, offering long distance line haulers lower cost per mile for the entire life of the tire.
The R195F incorporates the Defense Groove™ design that helps create uniform pressure across the shoulder to minimize edge wear and cupping. The patented Equalizer Rib™ feature combats initiation and spread of wavy wear on the main ribs, while stress relief siping along rib edges fights river wear.
The R195F uses a classic straight-rib design that evacuates water from the footprint combined with cross-rib sipes for a solid grip on wet surfaces.
The R195F’s next-generation tread compound and fuel efficient-casing are engineered to offer competitive fuel economy for lower cost per mile. Fuel efficient-casings mean retreads will be fuel efficient, too, for lower total life cycle costs.
To enhance retreadability, the R195F features thick sidewall protector ribs, to fight damage and abrasion from curbing. Both sidewalls are ribbed, so when one set of protector ribs is worn away, the tire can be reversed on its wheel for continued protection.
Like all Bridgestone radials, the R195F’s casing is engineered to be retreaded for any axle position, with four full steel belts and an all-steel casing ply.
