Bridgestone 008736 Turanza T005 Run Flat 225/50R17 98Y XL BSW Summer Tire

The Bridgestone Turanza T005 RFT (008736) is a ultra-high performance summer run-flat tire engineered for passenger cars and select SUVs. Combining a sophisticated asymmetric tread design with Bridgestone's advanced compound technology, the Turanza T005 RFT delivers confident dry and wet performance without compromising the refined, comfortable ride expected of a touring-class tire.

Run-Flat Technology

Bridgestone's reinforced internal sidewall construction allows the Turanza T005 RFT to continue operating after a complete loss of air pressure. This extended mobility capability lets drivers travel up to 50 miles (80 km) at up to 50 mph (80 km/h) following a puncture or blowout, eliminating the need to pull over immediately in unsafe conditions. Because a spare tire is no longer required, the RFT design can also help reduce overall vehicle weight.

Key Features:

• Asymmetric Tread Pattern — Maximizes contact with the road surface, increasing grip on both dry and wet pavement while providing enhanced steering response and braking performance
• Nano Pro-Tech High Silica Compound — Minimizes heat buildup during high-speed operation, contributing to long-lasting durability and improved rolling resistance
• Wide Circumferential Grooves — Efficiently evacuate water from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning and maintain wet-weather traction
• Reinforced Sidewall Construction — Supports the vehicle's load after pressure loss, enabling safe extended driving on a flat tire
• Optimized Steel Belt & Polyester Carcass — Provides structural rigidity for precise high-speed handling and long-term durability
• Low Rolling Resistance — Reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions for a more fuel-efficient and environmentally conscious drive
• XL (Extra Load) Rating — Supports a maximum load of 1,653 lbs per tire
