Description

Tire Specifications:

• 295/80R22.5: This indicates the tire size. Here’s a breakdown of the specifics:
  • 295: The width of the tire section in millimeters (mm).
  • 80: The aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width (80% in this case).
  • R: Indicates a radial tire construction.
  • 22.5: The rim diameter in inches.
• 154/149M: This represents the load rating of the tire. The load rating indicates the maximum weight that the tire can carry at a specific inflation pressure. In this case, 154 indicates the load capacity at higher speeds, and 149 refers to the load capacity at lower speeds. Here’s a breakdown of the weight limits:
  • 154: Up to 154 kg (339,500 lbs)
  • 149: Up to 149 kg (328,500 lbs)
• M: This indicates the speed rating of the tire. M refers to a maximum speed of 81 mph (130 km/h).
• TL: Means the tire is tubeless, relying on an airtight seal between the tire and the rim to hold air, instead of an inner tube.
• 3PMSF: This symbol indicates that the tire meets the European winter tire standards for snow and ice performance. This means that the tire has been tested and certified to provide improved traction on snow and ice compared to all-season tires that don’t have this symbol.

Features and Benefits (based on information found online):

• Durability and long tread life: The tread pattern of the Bridgestone Duravis R-Steer 002 appears to be deep with grooves and sipes, suggesting it’s designed for long hauls on steer axles [1, 2, 3]. Steer axles are the front axles of a truck that are responsible for directional control. This tread pattern design can help to reduce operating costs for truck fleets.
• All-season traction with winter performance: The 3PMSF marking on the tire indicates that it has sufficient tread design for all-season performance, including light winter snow and ice conditions [2, 3]. However, it is likely not suitable for severe snow conditions.
• Fuel efficiency: The Bridgestone Duravis R-Steer 002 is also said to be fuel-efficient, due to a tread pattern design that reduces rolling resistance [1, 3]. This can help to reduce fuel costs for truck fleets.
• Improved handling and stability: The tread pattern design of the Bridgestone Duravis R-Steer 002 is specifically optimized to improve handling and stability for steer axles [1, 2, 3].
• Low noise emission: The Bridgestone Duravis R-Steer 002 is designed with a focus on low noise emission [1]. This can provide a more comfortable driving experience and potentially reduce noise pollution.

Overall, the 295/80R22.5 Bridgestone Duravis R-Steer 002 154/149M TL 3PMSF appears to be a good choice for steer axles on trucks operating on regional routes. It offers durability, long tread life, good performance in all-weather conditions including light winter snow, fuel efficiency, improved handling and stability, and low noise emission.
