The Bridgestone Potenza S001 I summer tire is designed for extremely high loads that often occur when operating passenger cars with improved dynamic characteristics. It is distinguished by excellent accuracy in handling, course stability, and braking intensity on dry and wet surfaces, as well as reliable coupling properties when dynamically passing turns.
The asymmetric tread pattern is notable for its hypertrophied shoulder blocks, dubbed High Grip. With their help, reliable coupling is achieved in turns even when moving at extremely high speeds. Another feature of the model is the presence of a flexible insert in the sidewalls. It increases their longitudinal stiffness, which in turn additionally increases the braking intensity. At the same time, the tire remains sufficiently elastic to provide good comfort for such tires when driving.
