The high technical characteristics of the Bridgestone Potenza RE30 summer passenger tire are evidenced by the fact that this model is included in the primary operation of a number of passenger cars such as Honda, Toyota, Subaru, and Lexus. It is favorably distinguished from numerous analogs by its excellent coupling properties in any conditions, good level of comfort, as well as excellent reliability and long service life.
Wide Double Longitudinal Rib in the Center
A distinctive feature of this model is a tread with a very wide longitudinal rib in the central part. This element has a very rigid continuous structure, divided into two equal parts by a drainage groove. Such a design, combined with the massive size of the rib, provides the tire with the lion's share of its advantages. First and foremost, this is excellent stability at any speed. In combination with extremely fast and accurate responses to steering wheel turns, this significantly simplifies the process of managing the vehicle. Another advantage of the wide double rib in the center of the Bridgestone Potenza RE030 is the reduced rolling resistance and prevention of uneven wear, which makes the purchase of this model even more beneficial.
Square Contact Patch of Bridgestone Potenza RE030
The high stability and reliability of this tire in any conditions are largely due to the characteristics of its contact patch. It has a practically square shape, which is given to it due to several design features. First and foremost, this is an optimized tread profile. At the same time, the tire carcass of the Bridgestone Potenza RE030 has an additional breaker layer made of nylon breaker, located directly under the tread. This provides increased resistance to dynamic deformation, ensuring the preservation of the shape and size of the contact patch, which in turn leads to an increase in the stability of the coupling properties and gives the handling reliability and predictability.
Main Features:
- a multifunctional longitudinal rib of double construction in the center of the tread improves directional stability and handling, as well as reduces rolling resistance and prevents uneven wear;
- a carcass reinforced with an additional breaker layer, combined with an optimized tread profile, gives the contact patch a square shape, providing a uniform distribution of load across it, which leads to an increase in the stability of the coupling properties and gives the handling reliability and predictability.
