Weather Control A005 – Mastering the Journey, No Matter What Season it is?

If you are in love with the road, you know that every season offers something unique. Whether you are driving in winter, monsoon, or summer, the winding roads of the UK is a joy to drive on. However, there is a critical issue that often comes up. Different seasons require different types of car tyres, and changing them twice each year can burn a big hole in your pocket.

Tyre manufacturers always strived to make something that can cater to the traveller in you while withstanding nature’s extremities. Now, this is a challenging endeavour. However, Bridgestone managed to overcome the barrier and create a touring tyre for every season.

• Meet the Control A005

       The Control A005 is Bridgestone’s solution for the touring community who often encounter adverse weather conditions. It was released in May 2018 and won the hearts of many with its sheer performance. It is especially useful for people living in the UK, where the weather stays mildly warm with occasional rains.

• Made for the users, by the users

       The process of creating the perfect Grand Touring tyre started with Bridgestone interviewing approximately 15,000 car owners to know what they expect from a touring, all-season tyre. Also, they learned about what issues they face every day while driving on the road. After that, they went to the drawing board and began designing the tyre. The result was Control A005, developed to bring confidence while tackling diverse weather on highways.

• Performance at its best

      The very first batch of A005 was tested (and certified) by TUV SUD, Europe’s most reputed independent vehicle testing institute. This proves their excellence over their competitors in the market. If you take a look at Control A005 while searching for your new car tyres in Bourne, you will notice that it has a grade ‘A’ EU tyre label in wet grip and grade ‘B’ or ‘C’ in rolling resistance.

Also, these are certified 3PMSF (3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake) tyres, meaning they can easily traverse snow-covered roads.

• A marvel of technology

      The Bridgestone Weather Control A005 gets its class-leading performance and unmatched safety because of its innovative design and tread compound. A brand new Nano Pro-Tech compound replete with high silica content is used to make these tyres. Also, it features V-shaped treads paired with a large number of sipes on the shoulder and crisscrossed grooves. While standard car tyres have smooth ribs running through their entire length, A005’s intersected grooves create a unique overlapped rib.

This unique design along with optimised weight distribution makes sure you get the best fuel efficiency and road grip with minimum tyre wear over time.

• The best partner for your wanderlust

      Very soon you will be able to buy these Bridgestone tyres from certified tyre retailers like Bourne Car & Van Hire. Bridgestone launched Weather Control A005 in May 2018, and they are making them in sizes ranging from 15” to 20”. It already fits more than 90% of passenger cars and SUV’s that are on the road, and Bridgestone aims to make a suitable product for the rest of the market by 2019.
