Compare JK Ultima Neo and Bridgestone TURANZA AR20

The reason some radials stand out, while others blend into the crowd would be the distinction between tyres such as these, and the rest of them. The Ultima Neo brings JK Tyres' reputation up by a few notches. It provides high grade traction on a range of surfaces, keeping its vehicle glued to the road when cruising at high speeds. It lets the car brake easier and smoother than the rest, thereby giving the best cornering ability a vehicle could ask for. Aside from these conventional benefits, it makes for fuel consumption, with lesser energy absorbed when rolling. It brings comfort and peace to the driver as well. All of this, together, makes the Ultima Neo one of the finest radials to exist, and one that would stand so for years to come.

JK Tyres is one of the most famous names in the tyre industry in India. This is primarily thanks to the various motorsports series that the company sponsors or is a partner of. Moreover, being an Indian brand, the company enjoys a soft corner in the hearts of customers. My first experience with JK Tyres was last year, when I upsized my Maruti Baleno’s wheels to 16-inches. I have driven for close to 8,000 kms since the upgrade. The experience with JK Tyres has been quite satisfactory. They are strong enough to handle Indian road conditions and also provide good isolation from road undulations. I have experienced a strange phenomenon, however. The rear left tyre keeps on leaking air somehow. I have got the entire tyre checked, including the air valve. Despite all these efforts, every time I go to an air pump, the rear left tyre’s pressure is at least 3-4 PSI less than that in the other three tyres.

Bridgestone specializes in producing high quality tyres, which are supplied to several countries in the world. This particular model from the company named TURANZA AR20, is made of Flat Contact Patch (FCP) that gives a better contact area. It also prevents risk of tyre deformations, while increasing its life span. The use of advanced silica tread compound is an advantage as it aids in offering a matchless performance by reducing its rolling resistance.
