The Bridgestone Potenza RE950 summer tire is designed for everyday use on passenger cars. The model demonstrates improved traction and driveability, as well as the ability to drive at high speeds while maintaining sensitive handling. In addition, the tire provides comfort and safety.
The symmetrically directed tread pattern contributes to the improvement of high-speed characteristics on both dry and wet roads. In the latter case, the system of channels and grooves facilitates the instant removal of water masses from under the contact patch. Also, such a tread pattern has a positive effect on acceleration and braking performance, eliminating wheelspin at startup and minimizing the braking distance.
The compound played a significant role in increasing the reliability of the tire, in which technologies used in sports models were applied. As a result, the resistance to wear has increased significantly.
Key features:
- fast aquaplaning due to the system of central channels and diagonal slots;
- increased compound strength due to the presence of special additives in the composition;
- reduced braking distance thanks to the wedge-shaped construction of the tread and the presence of a large number of biting edges.
