Featuring an optimised contact patch which can guarantee homogenous pressure distribution and controllability. The Potenza Race has been specially developed to minimise hot spots and optimise efficiency by equalising pressure over the contact patch. The hybrid crown reinforcement changes how the tyre flexes in order to maintain stability at high speeds, meaning you can enjoy more time with the throttle wide open.An asymmetric tread pattern and wall angles maximise cornering power and braking potential. This is achieved by increasing lateral stiffness, in turn reducing block deformation, which will create consistent tyre performance through to the last lap. The sporty profile shape also increases stability and braking performance by increasing the amount of tyre that is in contact with the surface of the road at any one time. This is how the Potenza Race achieves such good braking and cornering results. Lastly the high resistance compound is specifically for extended endurance. This is achieved using a blend of reinforced silica and resins including nano-scale reinforcement to boost track longevity.Bridgestone is a large global brand that offers a range of tyres for different applications. Founded in 1931 they have decades of experience making performance tyres for all categories and have the technology to create a tyre that will not disappoint. Their technologies such as B-Silent, B-Seal, Ologic, and Enliten are specially designed to reduce noise, provide puncture resistance, increase fuel efficiency, and greatly reduce weight.Tests were carried out by TÜV SÜD on the request of Bridgestone in November 2021 and March 2022 at the facilities Bridgestone EUPG (Italy) and Nardo (Italy) for tests with Mercedes AMG A45s, on tyre size 245/35 R19 Potenza Race compared to the performances of main competitors in the same segment: Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport R, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 Connect, Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R.
