The Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/50 R17 94W (*) Run Flat provides unrivalled grip and handling. It was develloped and tested to meet the demanding standards of racing cars, the Potenza S001 225/50 R17 94W (*) Run Flat blends comforts and safety. The asymetrical tread pattern provides top notch sport driving performance on dry and wet. Fast water dispersal.
The excess water is drained towards the wide super oblique grooves whose 60° angle ensures the efficiency of the evacuation and the reduction of tread block deformations during braking. Their positioning results from the best possible distribution of ground contact pressure. By expelling water as quickly as possible, these grooves maintain the control of the tire on wet roads and keep the risk of skidding on the water film at bay.
The strong rigidity, both lateral and longitudinal, maximizes road contact, induces a very significant braking force, and ensures flawless grip in turns, giving this tire a special dimension.
The tread with continuous straight rib ensures perfect maneuverability, optimal stability, and directional control at high speed.
Increasing longitudinal rigidity enhances handling and braking performance. Supports vertical rigidity for optimal cornering grip and maintains appreciable driving comfort.
Unique design minimizing rolling noise. Design incorporating lightweight belts to reduce rolling resistance and improve energy efficiency.
