Bridgestone 009851 Turanza T005 Run Flat 225/50R18 99W XL Passenger Tire

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT (Run Flat Tire) in size 225/50R18 99W XL is a high-performance summer tire engineered for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Custom-developed by Bridgestone, this tire delivers a refined balance of luxury ride comfort, precise handling, and the added security of run-flat technology — allowing continued travel up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph after a complete loss of tire pressure.

Key Features:

• Run Flat Technology (RFT): Reinforced sidewalls support the vehicle's weight even after a puncture or pressure loss, eliminating the need for a spare tire and reducing overall vehicle weight
• Asymmetric Tread Design: Enhances dry and wet grip with a higher number of biting edges for confident cornering and braking performance
• Wide Circumferential Grooves: Efficiently channel water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and maintain wet-weather traction
• Nano Pro-Tech High-Silica Compound: Minimizes heat build-up during high-speed driving while improving grip and overall performance capability
• Optimized Contact Pressure Distribution: Promotes even tread wear and extends tire life by maintaining consistent road contact across the full footprint
• Low Rolling Resistance: The reinforced internal structure and summer compound reduce rolling resistance, supporting improved fuel efficiency and lower CO₂ emissions
• Durable Steel Belt Construction: Stiff polyester reinforcement and steel belts enhance steering responsiveness and high-speed stability
• Extra Load (XL) Rated: Supports higher load capacity compared to standard load tires of the same size

The Turanza T005 RFT features a black sidewall (BSW) finish and is rated for summer use. It is not recommended for use in temperatures consistently below 45°F. With a load index of 99 and W speed rating, this tire is built for drivers who demand confident performance, luxury comfort, and the peace of mind that run-flat capability provides.
