Bridgestone Potenza Sport Features New Technologies
Bridgestone has introduced its new flagship Potenza tyre - Potenza Sport, which aims to set a new standard in premium and high-end sport performance with exceptional cornering and straight-line stability, offering drivers outstanding control on both dry and wet road conditions.
Potenza Sport features various new and innovative technologies in tread pattern design, compound and construction. Innovative 3D sipes are applied to the tyre tread pattern design to increase shear stiffness, as well as to improve and enhance braking and abrasion resistance.
Meanwhile, the tyre’s 2/3 compound contains an optimised formula that is combined with innovative mixing technology to improve the tyre’s wet and dry handling performances.
Bridgestone also deployed a new hybrid crown reinforcement to maximise tyre stability at high speed and a sporty carcass package to increase stability and steering response, while optimising rolling resistance.
