‘Pushing the limits of what can be achieved in a tyre’

The Bridgestone Potenza Race's incredible performance is made possible by the tyre’s tread pattern, construction and material compound innovation. The world-class racing shoe has been designed based on extensive market research led by their headquarters, focusing specifically on what circuit drivers expect from an ultra-high-performing tyre.

To make it more sustainable, Bridgestone created Virtual Tyre Development technology to help them predict how different tyres will perform before they develop prototypes and test them physically. As such 33% fewer raw materials are needed for production resulting in 10 thousand kilometres saved with 1 tonne of CO2 eliminated.  

The new Bridgestone Potenza Race is available in 13 popular sizes between 17 and 20 inches, supporting the hot hatchbacks and sportscars most commonly used on tracks. Designed with input from motorsports lovers around the globe – Ferry confirmed this would be a “dream track tyre” for those who demand performance-level handling at their disposal -the company has created its first-ever semi-slick design, which emulates high grip surfaces found within racing environments without compromising safety or comfort when driving outside of these conditions 

Intending to create a sustainable society, this project aligns with Bridgestone's "E8 Commitment" which consists of eight values starting from Energy and ending in Empowerment. This includes initiatives such as encouraging employees' creativity through innovation while engaging communities around their products for more significant impactful change at every level -from individuals down into neighbourhoods or cities where companies are located-and even internationally. Whether you're a professional or weekend warrior, we have the perfect tyre for your needs. Check out their selection and get back to us with any questions before purchasing.
