Introducing Bridgestone R195F
The new R195F is another of Bridgestone's Real Answers to questions asked by today's fleets. If your trailer tires suffer from premature removal for irregular wear, you now have a radial designed to deliver superior tread wear and long mileage for ultra-low cost per mile.

 

NEW generation R195F innovations

Stress-relief rib sipes
Fight irregular wear on main ribs by absorbing rib edge stresses in the footprint. Promote even wear for higher mileage.
Equalizer Rib™ design
Patented design promotes even rib wear. This small rib absorbs irregular wear forces and fights initiation and spread of edge wear - including river and wavy wear - on the main ribs.
Stress-relif rib sipes
Fight irregular wear on main ribs by absorbing rib edge stresses in the footprint. Promote even wear for higher mileage.
Thirsty cross-rib sipes
Improve wet traction by slicing through water for a solid grip on wet roads.
Defense Groove™ feature
Helps create uniform pressure at shoulder to minimize edge wear for higher mileage.

Ultra-Smooth Tread Life • Ultra-Long Mileage • Ultra-Low Cost Per Mile
Competitive fuel efficiency
An advanced tread compound and optimized casing shape give R195F excellent fuel efficiency without sacrificing slow, even wear. The fuel-efficient casing means retreads will be fuel-efficient, too.
A. Tough sidewall protection
Thick ribs fight curbing damage to protect the casing.  When one side wears away, flip the tires over for continued protection.
B. Wider and tougher to last longer
The R195F's wider tread spreads load over a larger area, distributing footprint pressure to promote long, smooth wear. Plus this wider design means R195F takes a full-size drive cap, preferred by most fleet operators, for even more low-cost miles.
C. Computer-designed all-steel casing
Four steel belts and a tough steel body ply fight tread squirm and irregular wear. Top belt adds protection from penetrating road hazards to fight flats.

Mixing R195F with R194
You don't have to replace all your trailer axle tires to try the R195F. R195F radials can be mounted with R194 radials as long as the difference in overall diameter does not exceep 8/33" o r 1/4".

 Additional technical information is available from your dealer or truckstop.





The retread leader,
again and again
With a wide tread base and durable, computer-designed casing, the R195F is designed to be retreaded again and again. In fact, for 14 straight years, professional retreaders ranked Bridgestone truck radials #1 for retreadability, more first-place positions than for all other tire manufacturers combined.*

Retreaded or not, it's nice to know your Bridgestone radials are built to take the punishment of today's trucking - especially late at night and far from home.

Prove it to yourself
Make the only test that really matters: Try the R195F on your trailers, on your routes, with your drivers and your loads - in short, in your real world.
