💡 Is the Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RZ 255/35R19 a Good Tire?
The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RZ 255/35R19 is a summer performance tire designed for sports cars and performance sedans. It delivers exceptional dry grip and precise handling for track use, though wet weather performance is moderate due to its competition-focused compound. Ride comfort is firm with noticeable road noise, as the tire prioritizes maximum grip over daily driving refinement. Tread life is limited for its category, typical of track-oriented compounds that sacrifice longevity for grip. Rated 3.5/5 by TirePath, it excels on track but is not suitable for year-round driving or comfort-focused applications. Currently priced from $369.49, it is available through major online tire retailers.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RZ 255/35R19 is an extreme performance summer tire designed for sports car and performance sedan drivers who prioritize maximum grip and precision handling on track and autocross courses. Its race-bred compound uses advanced high-grip polymers working with an aggressive asymmetric tread design to extract maximum dry traction and minimize heat buildup during extended racing 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 maintaining consistent performance during track use. Built specifically for competition environments like autocross, track days, and time attacks, it carries precision from street driving to full race pace with minimal performance fall-off over extended sessions. Like all extreme performance summer tires, it should not be used in near-freezing temperatures, snow, or ice conditions.
