Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS

Reach the pinnacle of performance with the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS!

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.

Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS Treadwear & Warranty

Like most ultra-high performance and summer tires, the Potenza RE71RS does not include a mileage warranty.

But you can always add our Certificates to your order for peace of mind! If your new Bridgestone Potenza Sport A/S tire can’t be safely fixed, we’ll give you a brand new replacement free of charge!

You can add our Certificates to your cart!

The question is: can your track car keep up with the Bridgestone Potenza RE71RS?

            This is a great Autocross tire currently even though BS has a newer 71RSZ just released version, both are great for their intended purpose.
