Bridgestone Potenza – Are They As Good As They Say?

The Bridgestone Potenza is a series of performance tires that are very popular for car racing and personal use. The RE050 is the latest addition to the manufacturer’s high performance tires. Its tread design is a combination of racing-inspired technology and a rain tire, making it responsive and comfortable to maneuver.

As a part of Bridgestone’s performance tires, Potenza RE050 is a product of Bridgestone’s motor sports heritage with its six consecutive world championships in Formula One racing. Potenza RE050 tire makers used the grooved tread design of Potenza formula one dry tire and Potenza F1 rain tire, making it excellent on dry and wet roads.

A companion of this Potenza tire is the Potenza RE050A. It has the asymmetrical tread pattern that combines the large and outside factors to provide improved handling. This Bridgestone Potenza is also equipped with smaller and inside factors to deal with water evacuation. The asymmetric tread offers easy rotation, preventing irregular wearing off.

The Potenza RE 92 are all-season, world-class, high performance tires that complement today’s sporty coupes, sports cars and sedans. This Potenza tire became popular due to its extensive use as original equipment on automobiles such as the Acura Integra, Mazda 626, Toyota Camry and Infinity Q45.

The Potenza RE 959’s, with Ultimate Network of Intelligent-Tire Technology AQII, are higher level performance tires. They are designed with a unique tread and sidewall inspired by the Potenza racing rain tire. The tread itself has a groove in its center to minimize hydroplaning. The Bridgestone Potenza RE 959 also adds to its agility on wet and dry roads. The UNI- T AQII further empowers the advantage of UNI-T AQ in wet handling as the tire wears.

The Potenza RE 750, equipped with Ultimate Network of Intelligent -Tire Technology AQII, tires are another inspiration of Potenza racing tires engineered to minimize road noise, particularly as the tires wear. They are tailored to supplement the style and complex demands of the finest performance cars of our time.

The Potenza RE750 has unidirectional tread pattern to deliver quick response, strong traction, and excellent dry and wet handling, bringing performance to its best level.

To redefine the ultra-high performance, the Bridgestone Potenza s-03 was created. This tire is the epitome of a high performance tire, when it comes to dry and wet handlings. Moreover, the high level of performance is maintained even when the tread wears.

Bridgestone engineers were also able to decrease the tire’s noise level both when the tires are new and old. Surely, racers and car owners will delight in this racing rain tire.

Another performance-oriented Potenza tires is the RE 11, which was first launched in Japan, creating a buzz among racers and car enthusiasts. This Bridgestone tire offers car owners and racers alike an outstanding performance on the street and on the track. It provides faster lap times and better grip, making it worthy to be part of Bridgestone Potenza performance tires.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 uses a new sidewall shape and radical new “stealth” block, which promotes higher tread stiffness while improving water evacuation movement. Its asymmetric cavity shape functions to improve handling and ride quality.
