Key Technical Specifications

• Size: 245/45R18 – ideal for most mid‑sized cars, SUVs and luxury vehicles.
• Speed Rating: 96Y – supports speeds up to 240 km/h (149 mph).
• Load Index: 71 – capable of carrying a maximum load of 950 kg per tire.
• Noise Level: 71 dB – engineered for quiet, comfortable rides.
• Run‑Flat Technology: Integrated reinforced sidewalls allow the tire to maintain support for up to 80 m after a puncture at speeds below 50 km/h.

Performance Highlights

The Turanza ER300 is built around Bridgestone’s Turanza™ compound, which offers:

• Superior Wet Traction: Advanced tread pattern and rubber chemistry reduce stopping distances on wet roads.
• Enhanced Dry Handling: High‑performance sidewalls provide precise steering response and stability at high speeds.
• Long‑Lasting Comfort: Balanced tread design delivers a smooth ride while minimizing road noise.

Run‑Flat Advantage

The integrated run‑flat feature means you can continue driving safely for up to 80 m after a puncture, giving you the time and space to reach a safe location or service center. This is especially valuable in:

• Urban environments with frequent potholes.
• High‑traffic highways where stopping abruptly can be hazardous.
• Long journeys where immediate tire replacement may not be feasible.

MFS Rim Protection – What It Means for You

The MFS (Multi‑Functional Shield) layer is a thin, durable film that protects the rim from scratches and dents caused by road debris. This extends the life of both the tire and the wheel, reducing maintenance costs over time.

Compatibility & Vehicle Suitability

The Turanza ER300 fits a wide range of vehicles, including:

• BMW 5‑Series (F10/F11)
• Audi A4/A6
• Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class
• Lexus RX & ES

• Other mid‑size and luxury cars that use the 245/45R18 size.

Why Choose Bridgestone Turanza ER300?

• Safety First: Run‑flat capability + rim protection = peace of mind on every trip.
• Performance Excellence: Optimized for both wet and dry conditions, delivering confident handling.
• Comfort & Quietness: Noise level of 71 dB keeps cabin noise low even at high speeds.
• Durability: Robust construction resists wear from road hazards.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Always use a professional tire service for mounting and balancing to preserve run‑flat performance.
• Check the tire pressure regularly; run‑flat tires require slightly higher pressures (typically 2.5–2.7 bar).
• Avoid driving at speeds above 50 km/h after a puncture, as the sidewalls may not support extended loads.
