Bridgestone has
announced the development of a next-generation concept tire, which debuted on
the new Chrysler Portal concept vehicle.
The tire employs something Bridgestone
calls Contact Area Information Sensing (CAIS) technology, which uses the tire’s
contact patch to analyze changing road conditions and share that information
with the driver. It offers real-time monitoring of road and weather conditions.
“Technology is rapidly changing the
automotive industry and tire innovation is playing a key role in this
revolution,” said Mike Martini, President, Original Equipment, U.S. and Canada
Consumer Tire Sales Divisions, Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations. “Tires are
an important tuning knob for a vehicle. They play a vital role in delivering
automakers’ desired vehicle performance, while also meeting the needs and
expectations of the next-generation of drivers.”
