Bridgestone Turanza EL42 All-Season Touring Tire

The Bridgestone Turanza EL42 is a premium all-season touring tire engineered as original equipment for sporty coupes, luxury sedans, crossover utility vehicles, and family minivans. Purpose-built to balance the responsive handling of a performance tire with the low road noise and refined ride comfort expected of a premium passenger tire, the Turanza EL42 delivers confident, year-round capability — available in both standard and Run Flat (RFT) configurations to suit a wide range of vehicles and driver preferences.

All-Season Traction & Wet Weather Performance

• All-season tread compound maintains rubber flexibility across a broad temperature range for reliable grip in dry, wet, and light winter conditions including light snow
• Symmetrical tread design with siped rectangular tread blocks delivers snow-biting edges alongside dry-road stability for confident year-round handling
• Lateral and circumferential groove network efficiently evacuates water from the contact patch, reducing hydroplaning risk and improving wet traction
• Open-slotted shoulder design further enhances all-season and wet-weather performance

Construction & Durability

• Twin steel belt construction reinforced by a spirally wrapped full-nylon overlay helps maintain tire shape at speed, improving high-speed capability, treadwear uniformity, and handling precision
• Polyester cord body ply delivers a supple, compliant ride that absorbs road irregularities for long-distance comfort
• Optimized tread geometry promotes even pressure distribution across the contact patch, resisting irregular wear and extending service life
• Long-wearing rubber compound engineered for extended tread life under everyday driving conditions
• Select RFT variants feature Bridgestone's Side Support Run Flat Technology — reinforced sidewalls support vehicle weight after a complete loss of air pressure, enabling continued temporary mobility at up to 50 mph for up to 50 miles

Ride Comfort & Noise Reduction

• Tread pattern and internal construction jointly tuned to minimize road noise and cabin vibration for a quiet, refined driving experience
• Engineered to meet the strict comfort and noise standards required for original equipment fitment on premium vehicles
• Compliant polyester cord body construction helps reduce driver fatigue on extended highway journeys
