The Bridgestone Potenza RE040 tire is a summer model, specially designed for high-speed driving, using technology that has been tested in Formula 1 racing. Excellent traction characteristics, impressive dynamics, and excellent stability when cornering are successfully combined with increased comfort, which is achieved thanks to Bridgestone's vast experience in producing tires for passenger cars. This tire is ideal for models such as the Alfa Romeo 147, BMW Z8, Audi TT, and various other sports cars. This model has low rolling resistance, which significantly saves fuel.
The specially designed tread pattern has optimally located blocks and excellent operational characteristics. A large number of lamellas and four wide drainage grooves quickly remove water, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
The rubber is made from a special compound, which has increased sensitivity in handling and service life. Its excellent grip on any road surface makes driving confident and safe on any roads. The Bridgestone Potenza RE040 tire has increased stability when cornering, as a result of using a special cord-reinforced carcass, which also protects the tire from various external damages. In addition to all this, the tire has a reduced noise level, providing additional comfort while driving. The tire is one of the leaders among summer sports tires.
