Tire Description

The Potenza RE-11 is an Extreme Performance Summer tire developed for enthusiastic sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan drivers. The Potenza RE-11 is designed to combine traction, handling and driving control with good noise and ride comfort. The Potenza RE-11 is tuned for dry and wet conditions, but like all summer tires is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice. The Potenza RE-11 is the first Potenza street tire to incorporate Bridgestone's 3D Seamless Stealth technology originally introduced in their Formula 1 and GP2 racing tires. The Potenza RE-11 features an asymmetric tread pattern that combines massive outboard independent shoulder blocks interlocked with a notched circumferential intermediate rib that provides the lateral stiffness needed to enhance steering response and increase dry cornering traction. Inboard, a continuous intermediate rib and notched shoulder rib are separated by wide, straight circumferential grooves that provide water evacuation to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. The tire's internal structure features a custom designed asymmetric shape that helps distribute footprint pressure more evenly by keeping the straighter outboard sidewall from “falling down” while helping the more rounded inboard sidewall resist “falling away” during aggressive cornering. Two wide steel belts reinforced by spirally wound nylon provide strength, uniform ride quality and high-speed capability.

This is a second car for me so I only drive it a little bit but when I do it can be pretty hard. So far I only have 2000 miles on these tires but I drove them in a rain storm and they were better than the s-02 that came with the car. On dry pavement they grip so well that I need more torque to do power slide 180's on divided roads. my abs hardly kicks in now on hard stops. after a few highway miles on a 55 degree day they were warm to the touch which was never the case with the s-02. They have been leaving a lot of rubber on the rear wheel wells so I'm worried a little about longevity but they do have a tread wear of 180 compared to 140 for my s-02. Just a great tire all around. I will try to add to this when i get a few more miles
