Bridgestone Potenza S001 255/35 R19 92Y

To the start of the new summer season 2011, the company Bridgestone has prepared a gift for all fans of fast and aggressive driving. Based on the history and technology of summer sports tires Potenza, the Japanese created the latest model Potenza S001, capable of eclipsing many of its competitors.

The new Potenza promises to become a sales hit already in April. The main characteristic of this tire is incredible control over the car and stunning return. The innovative asymmetrical tread design has stiff sidewall ribs, allowing for efficient entry into turns and maneuvers. The composition of the rubber mixture, enriched with silicon, allows the tire to pass any water obstacles. The wide longitudinal and drainage grooves on the Bridgestone Potenza S001 tire quickly expel water from under the contact patch, reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

It is also worth noting the environmental friendliness of the new tire. Fuel consumption on Potenza S001 tires is significantly reduced compared to the previous generation of Potenza.

The distance between the blocks and their size were optimized to increase acoustic comfort while driving on this tire.

The Japanese tire is installed in the basic configurations of popular sports and luxury car models. Among them, you can find such exclusives as the Aston Martin Rapide and Ferrari 458 Italia.
