Bridgestone Potenza S001 215/45R20, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High speed performance; Comfortable performance; Bridgestone Potenza S001 TiresThe Bridgestone Potenza S001 is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. The tire guarantees great dry and wet weather traction. It combines the summer compound and the slanted-slug tread block sipe pattern of the tread, in order to upgrade the summer grip. Durable compounds heat-resistant rubber materials prevent heat build-up, while the tread elements firmly grip the road surface at all times. The tire features three circumferential grooves which disperse water from the footprint, resulting in a secure hydroplaning resistance. The tread pattern helps to maintain the surface contact at all times. As a result, the tire manages to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability during the performance. The semi-click center rib ensures the tires constant surface contact boosts the steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The special tread pattern generates friction, significantly shortening the braking distance as a result. The tread design and the stronger compound help to enhance the high speed durability. The heat-resistant compound elements prevent heat build-up across the tread area, while the tread optimizes the surface contact at all times. This combination enables the tire to greatly enhance the high speed performance and overall driving safety. The Bridgestone Potenza S001 enhances the comfort levels as well. This model was manufactured with three different heat-resistant technologies which allow the tire to minimize the road vibrations. As a result, the tire significantly decreases the vibrations reaching the vehicles cabin. This promotes a comfortable driving experience. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
