Product description & features
The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 Driveguard is an all season tyre, developed to deliver a high performance in summer and winter. It is the run flat version of the popular Brigestone A005.
Bridgestone have designed the Weather Control A005 Driveguard tyre with a high volume of slots in the tyre's shoulder - increasing the tyre's wet grip capabilities. A high silica content in the compound of the tyre also allow it to remain responsive and flexible throughout the seasons - maximising the potential grip.
The Weather Control A005 DriveGuard features, as the name suggests, Bridgestone's DriveGuard run flat technology - allowing the tyre to continue for up to 50 miles (at speeds of 50mph or less) after a puncture. Giving you time to safely seek assistance in the instance of a puncture.
What is an all season tyre
Designed to cope with all sorts of conditions – with a good performance delivered throughout the year. A moderate natural rubber content is used to stop the tyre hardening in temperatures below 7 degrees.
How can I tell an all season tyre performs in winter weather?
This tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:
This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.
Are all season tyres suitable for the UK?
Given that the UK suffers from milder and interchangeable winter conditions - with severe ice and snow becoming uncommon for much of the country - this makes all season tyres a very good choice for our roads. As they can cope with these conditions very well.
Do I need to swap my tyres throughout the year?
Given the nature of all season tyres, which can perform equally well in the summer and winter months, the need to replace tyres based on the season is not required.
We recommend that all season tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
