Bridgestone R179+ is a commercial tyre developed for regional haulage and delivery work, where vehicles spend long hours on motorways and A-roads but also face frequent junctions, roundabouts and stop-start driving. It’s designed to provide predictable steering response and consistent performance in typical UK conditions, making it a practical choice for fleets and owner-drivers who need reliability day after day.
The tread pattern is shaped to keep grip and control steady as the tyre wears. Wide circumferential grooves help clear surface water to reduce the risk of aquaplaning, while carefully placed sipes add extra biting edges for traction on damp roads. A stable central contact area supports straight-line stability, and reinforced shoulder zones help the tyre resist irregular wear caused by repeated turning and urban manoeuvres.
Underneath, the casing is built for heavy-load work and long service life. The R179+ focuses on maintaining an even footprint under load, which can help improve mileage and keep handling more consistent over time. It’s available in a wide range of commercial sizes to suit many rigid and tractor unit fitments.
You can buy Bridgestone R179+ tyres online in all available sizes on Tyres.co.uk, with the choice of fitting at a nearby garage of your choice or having the tyres delivered.
