A statement from Bridgestone UK has confirmed that the aftermarket 3G runflat tyre is still in the development process and is not expected to hit the shops for “some time”. The Bridgestone 3G RFT was originally due to be released at the end of 2009.
Bridgestone UK Statement:
“We are progressively developing new tyres with 3rd generation technologies. However, most of these developments are destined for new car models at this time.
As those cars are introduced to the market, the replacement tyres will also become available. Now we are planning to develop additional sizes that can be sold in the replacement market.
However, it will be some time in the future before we see such sizes actually in the shops. Please check our website from time to time for our latest line up.”
This statement from Bridgestone will come as a major disappointment for the 1000′s of drivers currently looking for a softer ride from their current runflat tyres. Brighter news may be on the horizon however from Dunlop Tyres who are also claiming to be close to finalising 3G production – Watch this space !!
