Recently, Bridgestone announced the official launch of its new tire R128. Continuing the performance advantages of Bridgestone R150 and R118II. tires in wear wear and long life, the new R128 tires are further optimized and equipped with ENLITEN® technology, one of the breakthrough core technologies of Bridgestone Group, which is designed for truck and bus users who pay attention to driving safety, pursue high cost performance, longer wear life and low fuel consumption, and are committed to creating a worry-free, fuel-saving, worry-free, safe and smooth travel experience.
Thanks to Bridgestone's unique ENLITEN® technology, R128 has been further improved in terms of wear resistance and fuel saving, highlighting the price-performance advantage. ENLITEN® technology applies a unique "intensive" tread design and the latest tread wear-resistant rubber material to improve tire wear performance, extend tire service life and vehicle mileage, while improving the utilization of raw materials and reducing tire rolling resistance. Compared with R150, R128 has a more than 30% longer life and 12% lower rolling resistance, saving resources and reducing carbon emissions. More uniform tire grounding shape, better deflection resistance than R118II, and excellent carcass structure, effectively reducing the overall failure rate in the whole life cycle.
Bridgestone's new R122.5 R128 tire is suitable for long-distance high-speed/general road driving mainly fixed load truck guide wheels, drive wheels, and can also be used for hanging wheels. In order to test the wear resistance of this tyre, Bridgestone and the partner team conducted a real road test on the logistics section from Suizhong to Guangzhou, and found that the predicted life of R128 far exceeded that of competing tires, and could run more than 100,000 kilometers, which fully proved the excellent wear resistance of R128. After use, the driver of the test team feedback: "R128 has good wear effect, good stability, satisfactory driving kilometers, and wear resistance and deflection resistance can meet the needs."
Adhering to the corporate mission of "contributing to society with excellent quality", Bridgestone Group is committed to continuously creating value for society and customers. In the future, Bridgestone will continue to bring more cost-effective products to provide truck users with a safe and worry-free driving experience and contribute to sustainable transportation.
