The Bridgestone Potenza RE040 is a high-performance summer tire engineered to deliver a balanced combination of high traction, responsive handling, and driving comfort. This tire is designed to excel on both dry and wet roads, offering enhanced stability and performance for sports cars, coupes, and sedans.
The Potenza RE040 utilizes a high-grip tread compound molded into a directional tread pattern that boosts traction and cornering stability. For added safety, wide circumferential and lateral grooves effectively evacuate water from beneath the tire's footprint, ensuring better wet-road stability and hydroplaning resistance. The continuous center rib and large rectangular tread blocks enhance grip on dry surfaces, promoting stronger traction and enhanced handling.
To improve strength and durability, twin steel belt construction reinforced with spiral-wrapped nylon enhances the tire’s stability, allowing for responsive handling even at higher speeds. Additionally, this tire is available with Run-Flat Technology, which provides temporary mobility for up to 50 miles at speeds of up to 50 mph, even in the event of a complete air pressure loss due to puncture.
The Potenza RE040 is available in sizes 15 to 19 inches and comes with W and Y speed ratings. It is also backed by a limited tread life warranty. This tire is an Original Equipment (OE) fitment for several major automakers, including Toyota, Nissan, and BMW.
