Bridgestone run-flat tires are now fitted right across the BMW and Mini range in Europe, in addition to a large number of models from Audi, Mercedes, Lexus and Volkswagen. Many top sports cars are also equipped with Bridgestone run-flats, including Ferrari and Maserati models. Bridgestone's new run-flat version of its flagship Potenza S001 UHP sport tire - the Potenza S001 RFT - combines the sporty character of the S001 with the high-level safety and comfort of Bridgestone's latest run-flat technology. In addition to being able to drive for up to 80 km at a speed of up to 80 kph in the event of a total loss of air pressure, motorists can experience the level of ride comfort comparable to conventional tires. This has been made possible by the development of "heat controlling" technologies - including a NanoPro-Tech polymer, which reduces internal friction heat and Cooling Fin technology that keeps the sidewall cool enabling Bridgestone engineers to reduce the vertical stiffness of the run-flat sidewall.
