Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R

The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R summer tire is a racing tire adapted for use on public roads. Its target audience is owners of passenger cars with the most powerful engines, enthusiasts, and fans of road-ring racing. This model, despite its aggressive appearance, combines many qualities that are useful not only for an extremely dynamic driving style but also for everyday use.

The first thing that catches the eye when looking at this tire is the pattern of its tread. The aggressive design will remind you of the unbearable bumps and noise of trips on similar products from other renowned brands. But this model is radically different from them with its exceptional comfort for its class. The optimized frame design, sidewall profile, and use of a 2-layer tread structure have made it possible to eliminate a significant portion of vibrations, bumps, and noise, providing the possibility of everyday use of this tire.

The next significant difference of the tire is its rubber compound. In fact, two compounds are used here. The lower base layer is responsible for directional stability and handling precision at high speeds, as well as for dissipating the enormous amount of heat generated by the tire's internal components. The outer layer is made of a compound that is distinguished by its elasticity, creating a feeling for the driver that the car is sticking to the road. This makes it possible to pass most turns without reducing speed. This feature is largely preserved even on wet pavement, thanks to a sufficiently wide range of "working" temperatures.
