Bridgestone R265 tires are designed for commercial light trucks and vans with handling and comfort in mind. They feature an all-position steel belt radial rib for enhanced rigidity which translates into better handling with heavy loads. The ribbed tread design gives the Bridgestone R265 tires good fuel economy and makes them operate quieter than the competition. Circumferential grooves in the treads increase the evacuation of water and help keep the tire from hydroplaning in wet conditions. The inner tire is made of steel belts and a polyester body cord for long life. The Bridgestone R265 can be re-treaded, thus increasing the overall tire life.
