The Turanza EL400-02 and Turanza EL400 w/UNI-T are Bridgestone's Standard Touring All-Season tires developed to meet the Original Equipment and replacement tire needs of drivers for their sporty coupes, sedans and vans. Turanza EL400 tires are designed to provide a luxury appearance, long wear and responsive handling along with dry, wet and year-round traction, even inlight snow.
Bridgestone's Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology (UNI-T) features three core elements: CO'CS, a Computer Optimized Component System which allows design and manufacturing processes to work more cooperatively, leading to a more effective tire that doesn't significantly sacrifice one area of performance for improvements in another; O-Bead, a rounder bead structure that minimizes overlapped joints in the bead area for improved ride; and L.L. Carbon (Long Link Carbon) which helps the rubber compound resist microscopic tread tearing related to wear.
On the outside, Turanza EL400 tires features their tread rubber compound molded into a symmetric tread design with straight circumferential grooves to balance dry and wet road traction with noise comfort and hydroplaning resistance. On the inside, the Turanza EL400 features twin steel belts for strength and stability with a polyester cord body to enhance ride comfort.
*Specific sizes featuring UNI-T technology are identified as such on the Sizes tab, as well as on the tire's SPEC tab.
Los neumáticos Turanza EL400 y Turanza EL400-02 de Bridgestone pertenecen al grupo Turismo Estándar Para Toda Estación y han sido desarrollados para cumplir con las necesidades de conductores de autos deportivos cupé, sedán y vans en cuanto a Equipo Original y neumáticos de reemplazo. Los neumáticos Turanza EL400, han sido diseñados para proveer una apariencia lujosa, características sobresalientes de desgaste y mayor maniobrabilidad; sin hacer concesiones en tracción sobre superficies secas y mojadas, durante todas las estaciones, inclusive en superficies cubiertas con poca nieve durante el invierno.
La tecnología UNI-T® de Bridgestone consiste de tres tecnologías fundamentales: CO•CS (Computer Optimized Component System) ) es un proceso computarizado que optimiza el diseño de bandas de rodamiento, la forma de la carcasa, los materiales y la construcción para lograr el máximo rendimiento del neumático; O-Bead® elimina la unión traslapada en el cable del talón o alambre de aro, utilizando un cable único y continuo. Esto crea un neumático más redondo, lo cual mejora el andar; Long Link Carbon® (Carbón de cadena larga) es un material de refuerzo mejorado que aumenta la resistencia al desgaste y disminuye la pérdida de energía del caucho.
La construcción externa del Turanza EL400, presenta una mezcla de caucho moldeada en una banda de rodadura con diseño simétrico. Canales circunferenciales rectos encuentran el balance entre tracción sobre superficies secas y mojadas, niveles de ruido más bajos y resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning).
Internamente, correas gemelas de acero proveen fortaleza y estabilidad, mientras que, una capa de cordón de poliéster aumenta el confort del andar.
*Tamaños específicos que cuentan con la tecnología UNI-T son identificados, como tales, en las páginas de Tamaños y Especificaciones.

Drivers living in the northern U.S. have already discovered a set of dedicated winter/snow tires increases their vehicles' wintertime capabilities enough to reduce their driving times, tension and stress. However, if you're among the skeptics who still question if the added traction is worth the expense, watch this video.
*Tire Rack's Tire Warranty Rating is an overall rating given to tire warranties after subjectively evaluating their value for the consumer. Warranties are rated on a scale of 0-5 with 5 being the highest. This rating combines all of the aspects of each tire's warranty where applicable, including: mileage/treadlife, materials and workmanship, balance and uniformity, replacement tire cost, warranty duration and any special manufacturer's warranties that apply. See official manufacturer's warranty brochure for specific details.
NOTE: New vehicle Original Equipment tire warranties often differ from those covering replacement tires. Consult your vehicle documents to confirm Original Equipment tire warranty coverage.
