Bridgestone Potenza S-02 |
 |
The Potenza S-02
is a max performance "summer" tire designed for high
performance sports cars, sedans and coupes. Used as original
equipment on Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes and
Porsche cars, it was developed to provide exceptional levels
of wet and dry traction along with responsive and
predictable handling. The S-02 and Potenza S-02 tires
feature Bridgestone's UNI-T (Ultimate Network of Intelligent
Tire Technology) that uses tread compound and construction
features to enhance tire performance. It is not intended to
be used in snow.
On the outside, the Potenza S-02 features a directional
tread design with "high angle" lateral tread grooves aligned
to effectively pump water from under the tire's footprint to
the sides to minimize hydroplaning. The resulting long tread
blocks and continuous center rib molded of a high grip tread
compound provide responsive handling, high-speed stability
and traction. Internally, the Potenza S-02 features twin
steel belts reinforced by a spiral-wrapped cap ply combined
with spiral-wrapped belt edge strips to minimize weight
while stabilizing the tread area to enhancing handling and
high-speed capability. The polyester or rayon cord body
incorporates a wire reinforced hard rubber sidewall filler
to help blend ride quality with handling stability. |
