Product description & features
The Potenza RE070 is Bridgestone's Extreme Performance Summer tyre developed for Original Equipment use in sizes for 2004-2007 all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza WRX STI performance sedans.
While designed to combine high level handling on the road with extreme dry traction on the track, the Potenza RE070, like all summer tyres, is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures.
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.
