Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS Features
The Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS is an ultra-high performance summer tire developed for spirited and racetrack worthy sedans and sports cars. It’s an excellent fit for your BMW 330i sedan, Subaru WRX, Porsche Cayman and more. This is the ideal tire for a track, endurance style or driving event enthusiast.
Like any summer tire, the Potenza RE71RS should not be stored, serviced or used in near or at below freezing temperatures or snow/ice.
The top three features of this tire? Its dry and wet performance plus its ride comfort!
With grip like a vice, precise steering, evenly wearing tread and a cornering game like no one’s business, the Potenza RE71RS easily holds its own against higher priced options.
Features of the Potenza RE71RS include:
-
An asymmetric tread pattern with race-developed (and high grip) polymer for maxed out dry traction.
-
Its optimized footprint manages contact pressure under heavy cornering loads, giving you more even wear in competition.
-
Solid circumferential ribs yield quick and precise steering response in dynamic conditions while expansive outboard tread elements with low-angle grooves give consistent and predictable cornering.
-
Hydroplane resistance is achieved via beveled circumferential grooves strategically placed to further support inboard ribs.
-
A hearty internal construction of two-ply polyester casing that’s tuned for increased feedback, nylon reinforcement ply for high speed capacity and sterling response with twin steel belts for a lightweight and durable base.

Customer Reviews
They stick. My autocross times are much better since running the Bridgestones. I drive to and from the events on these tires so they do double duty as race tires and daily driving.
Sticky and telegraphic. . Highly recommended
Too bad these are discontinue otherwise I would get them again. The RE71RS daily mannerisms were great for a 200tw tire. Water dissipation was great and allowed you to drive, in my case Florida torrential rain with confidence, as long as you were above 35% thread life. Anything below 35% is when the dry grip increase, however you lose all wet condition grip. This whera its replacement the RE71RZ depart. The RZ tends to hydroplane/wonder on light accumulation of water at 100% thread life. So if you still can get the RS and have to deal with rain, I recommend picking them up before they are gone. But then again they are 200tw tires, which really shine on track/autox. So if you do decide to run them in an area that rains a lot, be cautious.
