The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RZ 245/35R19 is an extreme performance summer tire, designed for sports car and performance sedan drivers who prioritize maximum dry grip and razor-sharp handling in competitive driving environments. Its race-bred compound using advanced high-grip polymers works with an aggressive asymmetric tread design to extract maximum dry traction and maintain performance consistency during extended track sessions.
The tire features a low-void, broad outboard tread pattern with an optimized footprint engineered to evenly distribute pressure through corners, maximizing contact area while reducing heat buildup for consistent wear during autocross, track days, and endurance competition. Like all extreme performance summer tires, the RE-71RZ should not be used in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or ice conditions.
