Championing Pole Position

Inspired by the relentless competitive spirit of amateur performance drivers around the world, Bridgestone believes there’s always potential to shave a few more seconds off the stopwatch through persistent innovation. The Potenza RE-71RZ tire is Bridgestone’s extreme summer performance tire for competitive and amateur grassroots racing and track-day driving. Meticulously designed in Japan by Bridgestone’s performance engineers and pressure-tested at the legendary Tsukuba Circuit, the Potenza RE-71RZ tire represents the pinnacle of Bridgestone’s performance technology. A reconfigured tread pattern with a larger outside shoulder than the previous generation Potenza RE-71RS tire and uniform pattern stiffness delivers added grip for blistering fast track times, plus responsive control in corners. Continue to push the pace and stay ahead of the competition with the new Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RZ tire.**
