Redefine the limits of power and control with the all-new Bridgestone Potenza S001. Formula 1 precision meets superior traction and manoeuverability in Bridgestone’s latest ultra-high performance tyre. Developed and tested in motorsport’s toughest arena, the Bridgestone Potenza S001 lets you unleash the full potential of your high-performance vehicle with guaranteed comfort and safety.
Advanced asymmetric tread pattern for outstanding sports performance in wet and dry conditions
Super slant grooves forRapid evacuation of water and high traction stability on wet surfaces
High-grip shoulder blocks for optimumRoad holding, high braking force and maximum cornering grip.
Bridgestone Potenza S001 is a tyre of the highest class, which guarantees top-level performance. The asymmetric tread model has been precisely developed. Its design was inspired by the experience gained while working onRE050A model. The tyre is ideal for strong sporty cars. Safety always comes first though. Bridgestone Potenza S001 maintains full grip on dry and wet surfaces, even when driving at higher speeds. An optimally designed system of cuts in the tread stiffens the tyre, increasing the contact area between the tread and theRoad. This design improves manoeuvring and cornering, facilitating dynamic driving. The grooves in the inner part of the tread quickly evacuate water outside of the tire to protect it against dangerous aquaplaning. On the other hand, solid blocks on the outer part help to maintain stability on dryRoads. Bridgestone Potenza S001 has a structure thatReduces noise and vibration, ensuring high travelling comfort.. Its silicaRubber compound not only improves grip on wetRoads, but also protects the tyre againstRapid wear andReduces fuel consumption (lowRollingResistance). Bridgestone Potenza S001 was chosen to be fitted as standard on many stylish cars, including the Ferrari F458 Italia, Porsche Panamera and AudiRS5.

Super slant grooves forRapid evacuation of water and high traction stability on wet surfaces
High-grip shoulder blocks for optimumRoad holding, high braking force and maximum cornering grip.
The Potenza S001 features an asymmetric design combining a large outboard shoulder, interlocking tread blocks and a central circumferentialRib to enhance dryRoad steeringResponse, high-speed stability and cornering precision. Notches in the shoulders expel water to the sides while high-angle lateral grooves in the intermediateRibs pump water into the wide circumferential grooves to helpResist hydroplaning.
The tire’s internal structure features a lightweight belt package consisting of twin steel belts supported by a spirally wrapped aramid/nylon cordReinforcement thatReducesRollingResistance, enhancesRide quality and ensures high-speed durability. ActiveRubber inserts in the sidewalls near the bead areas tune vertical sidewall stiffness to blend cornering grip withRide comfort, as well as increase longitudinal stiffness to generate straight-line braking forces.

The New Dimension of Perfectly Balanced Wet and Dry Performance
Inheriting the technology used in the PotenzaRE5, the tyre chosen for high performance cars the world over, takes the driving experience to a new level of wet and dry performance.Reducing the PotenzaRE050`s four main grooves down to three enables a larger block on the tyre`s outside edge. This, combined with the new “Multi-Performance Block” and “6 degree Slant Lug”, enables improved handling and braking performance in both wet and dry conditions.
• Semi Slick-CentreRib: Slick-style centreRib improves the handlingResponse of the steering center.• GUTT II Simulation Straight Grooves: With GUTT II Simulation the alignment, thickness and configuration of the straightRooves significantlyReduce theRick of hydroplaning.• NEW : 6 degree Slanted Sipe: Block sipes are positioned at a 6 degree angle, with the same effect as the nose of an F1Racing car. BlockRigidity has been optimised, improving both traction and braking performance.• Block and Click Combination: Lateral grooves improve traction and braking. This combined with slick area,Reduces wear on the inside edge and guards against becoming unbalanced with the outside edge.• Multi-Performance Block: The outside block, which takes most of the load when cornering, has been enlarged andReinforced to improve both wet and dry handling.
