The Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 tire is a sports, high-speed model designed specifically for use on passenger cars. The tire has excellent operating characteristics, providing a calm and precise response to steering wheel turns when driving at high speeds.
The model has an aggressive, asymmetrical tread design and is very effective on wet road surfaces. The tire's design features an asymmetrical sidewall for maximum grip on the road, a stiff base layer, and a reinforced sidewall for improved stability. The Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 tire elevates the driver, giving him a real pleasure of driving.
In the creation of the tire, know-how and unique knowledge and technologies were applied, which made it possible to create a truly unique tire. The tire has increased manageability, both on dry and wet road surfaces, reduced rolling resistance, and minimal fuel consumption. Also, this tire, due to the special rubber compound and the special aggressive tread pattern, has a new level of speed response when entering a turn and improved feedback.
The tread pattern has a new variable-width groove that improves water drainage and minimizes the effect of aquaplaning. The reinforced construction of the shoulder area and sidewall, as well as the deep groove, allow the tire to deform less when cornering and minimize distortion, providing more accurate feedback and more "lively" behavior of the car when cornering.
A key aspect of the tire that directly affects driving dynamics is the construction of the carcass. Specially designed with durability in mind, the construction provides soft dissipation of load when the tire is inflated. This quality affects both the evenness of wear and the reduction of overheating risk, which is important for high-speed driving.
Main features of the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 tire
- central ribs: a completely new rib design replaces the center of the original tire's sidewall, providing better grip on various road surfaces;
- wide offset ribs: allowed to achieve a faster response of the tire to changes in steering control;
- special block combination: suppresses deformation, increases stiffness, and provides more direct handling and increased compression;
- sidewall reinforcement: increases lateral stiffness and improves handling when cornering;
- special silica-based rubber compound: increases grip and rolling resistance, resulting in increased fuel savings;
- four ring-shaped wide water-dispelling grooves with directional sipes perfectly handle aquaplaning during any maneuvers, even at high speeds;
- specially developed "semi-slick" shoulder design provides maximum grip on the road surface when cornering.
