Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 Review

Tires are not something you want to take lightly, especially when it comes to the performance summer tires that you put on your car. You want to find a pair that will grip the road and the track, perform well in all conditions, and provide you with a comfortable ride. The potenza re11 does just that. This is an extreme high performance street tire that has been praised by many drivers as one of the best in its class.

Bridgestone took inspiration from their Formula One race tires to create the Potenza RE-11. With an asymmetric tread pattern designed for surefooted cornering, a new sidewall shape and a “stealth" block, this UHP tire is meant to ignite your adrenaline on the street and on the track.

The tread design consists of massive outboard independent shoulder blocks interlocked with a continuous intermediate rib and a notched circumferential rib to improve steering response and dry traction. Inboard, a notched shoulder rib and a 3D Seamless Stealth block improve lateral stiffness to enhance handling capabilities. Circumferential grooves channelize water effectively and resist hydroplaning, while enhancing wet traction.

When it comes to a potenza re11 review, most people who have driven this tire rave about its excellent performance in all conditions, including wet weather. It grips the road and the track, handles turns nimbly, and accelerates smoothly. This is a great tire for the enthusiast who loves to drive their car in every condition. The only drawbacks are the relatively low treadwear and noise.
