Unleash the Power of Your Vehicle with Bridgestone Potenza Race Tires
Exceptional Performance for the Track Enthusiast
Experience the ultimate in driving precision with the Bridgestone Potenza Race tires, designed specifically for the track. These semi-slick tires offer outstanding dry handling and superior braking performance, ensuring your vehicle delivers peak performance as soon as the lights turn green.
Optimized Contact Patch for Enhanced Control
The Potenza Race tires are engineered to translate your vehicle's power effectively onto the road. With an optimized contact patch, these tires ensure even pressure distribution and improved control, minimizing uneven stress and optimizing heat distribution across the tread. This design enhances tire efficiency by maximizing the use of contact points with the road.
Reinforced Hybrid Cord Casing for Stability
Every tire has inherent cushioning properties, but under extreme conditions—such as high speeds on straights and through corners—stability is crucial. The reinforced hybrid cord casing in the Potenza Race tires stabilizes the tire structure at high speeds, ensuring a reliable performance.
Asymmetrical Tread Design with V-Shaped Grooves
The asymmetrical tread design, combined with V-shaped grooves, enhances lateral grip and reduces block deformation, delivering maximum cornering and braking performance. This ensures consistent performance lap after lap.
Sporty Tread Design for Maximum Stability
The Potenza Race tires are crafted to maximize stability and braking potential. Friction is key, as only the parts of the tire in contact with the road can deliver performance. With their extra-wide and enhanced contact area, these tires significantly improve dry braking performance.
High Abrasion-Resistant Compound
Designed for the highest demands, the Potenza Race tires feature a high abrasion-resistant compound. This advanced formulation includes reinforced silica, a combination of resins, and nano-reinforcement, ensuring consistent performance on the track with reduced wear.
Elevate your driving experience with Bridgestone Potenza Race tires, the perfect choice for those who demand excellence on the racetrack.
Unleash the power of your vehicle with premium Bridgestone Potenza Race tyres. Enjoy outstanding dry handling on the track, the best dry braking, and rapid acceleration when the lights turn green.
Optimised contact patch To guarantee homogenous pressure distribution and controlability. You can have all the power in the world, but if you can’t optimise the contact point with the track surface you are wasting energy and losing valuable time. Our Potenza tyres are designed to reduce hot spots and optimise efficiency by equalising the pressure over the contact point.
Hybrid crown reinforcement For stabilised performance at maximum speeds. All tyres are designed to flex, but how they flex under extreme loads – i.e. top speeds, whether in a straight line or around corners – must be an integral part of the design solution. Our hybrid crown reinforcement stabilises the tyre envelope at speed.
Asymmetric tread pattern and wall angles to maximise cornering power and braking potential. The asymmetric tread pattern and wall angles increase lateral stiffness to maximise lateral stability and reduce block deformation. For a consistent perfomance until the last lap.
Sporty profile shape To maximise stability and braking potential. A tyre needs to do many things including transmitting power and applying braking forces. Friction is key, as only the parts of the tyre in contact with the road can deliver. With its extra width and higher contact footprint, the Potenza race tyres optimise dry braking performance.
High resistance compound Against abrasion for longer track endurance. Semi-slick tyres are designed to be pushed to the limit, but that’s no reason they shouldn’t last. It’s why Potenza race tyres are made with a high resistance compound that includes reinforced silica and a mix of resins, and include nano-scale reinforcement to ensure you can enjoy outstanding track longevity.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
