Product description & features
The Bridgestone Potenza S001 1 is a high performance tyre, developed with an advanced asymmetric tread pattern - to deliver a sporty, high end performance.
Bridgestone have designed the tread pattern of the Potenza S001 1 with 'super slant' grooves - to quickly and efficiently remove surface water from the path of the tyre. Improving the traction and stability of the tyre when driving on wet surfaces.
The Potenza S001 1 features high grip shoulder blocks - which deliver optimum grip and hold the road, for high braking force coupled with excellent cornering grip.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
