Potenza S001 (run flat)

High Performance Tyre
Asymmetric

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is a high-performance summer car tyre that offers a blend of power, precision control, and sports performance in both wet and dry conditions

High Grip Shoulder Blocks, these stiff ‘high grip’ shoulder blocks produce outstanding grip through corners. The longitudinal stiffness generates the high braking force required.
Off-Center Straight Rib feature provides remarkable steering response and precision for an exciting sporty feel. It also ensures perfect high-speed stability.
Active Insert increases longitudinal stiffness for improved braking and handling performance, while maintaining vertical stiffness for cornering grip and ride comfort.
High Angle Lug Grooves aid in improving the drainage of excess water from the rib area into the main grooves for hydroplaning resistance.
Wide Groove Design, the angle of lug grooves is tuned to minimize block deformation during braking. The wide groove design provides rapid water evacuation.
The advanced groove and lug design suppress excess pattern and surface noise. The lightweight belt construction reduces rolling resistance and improves fuel efficiency.

S001 also has a run flat model feature: Run-Flat Technology (RFT).
RFT tyres are engineered with strong self-supporting sidewalls to continue carrying the weight of the vehicle after complete pressure loss. Driver can go for a certain miles without air pressure.

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is designed to meet the demands of both luxury sports cars and the new breed of extreme sport models. It achieves optimum road contact, maximum exhilaration when cornering, and high braking force. With super slant grooves, it efficiently channels away surface water from the tyre’s contact patch, making it a standout performer in wet driving conditions. The tyre is also equipped with stiff, high-grip shoulder blocks that provide optimal road holding, ensuring you can drive round corners with confidence.
