New Technology of the 3rd Generation
Bridgestone’s first run-flat tyre was introduced in the early 1980s with an aim to keep disabled drivers’ vehicles mobile, even after complete air loss. The Porsche 959 was the first mass-produced vehicle equipped with run-flat tyres, making them standard equipment in 1987. In this early application, these tyres could not offer a smooth, comfortable ride as compared to conventional tyres.
Striving to solve this problem, Bridgestone developed a second-generation run-flat tyre in 2005 which offered improved riding comfort. And, in 2009, Bridgestone introduced new technology in the third-generation run-flat tyres, which offer almost the same riding comfort as conventional tyres.
