Select Vehicle or Tire SizeThe 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 Extreme Performance Summer tires, these tires are not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near- and below-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.
El Potenza RE-11 pertenece a la categoría Rendimiento Extremo Para Verano y fue desarrollado para conductores entusiastas de autos deportivos, cupé deportivo y sedán de rendimiento. El Potenza RE-11 combina tracción, control y maniobrabilidad, con un andar confortable y bajo ruido; además, se ajusta a condiciones secas y mojadas, y como todo neumático de verano no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
El Potenza RE-11 es el primer neumático Potenza que incorpora la tecnología 3D Seamless Stealth de Bridgestone, utilizada en las carreras Formula 1 y GP2. El Potenza RE-11 posee una banda de rodamiento con patrón asimétrico que combina bloques o tacos grandes independientes, ubicados en el hombro exterior, con un segmento circunferencial intermedio entrelazado, que proporciona la rigidez lateral necesaria para mejorar la respuesta al girar el volante, al igual que, la tracción en superficies secas al tomar curvas. La parte interna posee un segmento circunferencial continuo con dos canales que le separan del segmento interno intermedio por un lado y el segmento cóncavo del hombro interno en el otro. Estos canales ayudan a evacuar el agua, permitiendo más resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning) y mejor tracción sobre superficies mojadas.
La estructura interna del Potenza RE-11 posee un diseño asimétrico que ayuda a distribuir con mayor igualdad la presión recibida por el área de contacto con la carretera, esto permite que los flancos o paredes más rectos en la parte exterior, no se "caigan" hacia afuera y los flancos o paredes internas más redondas no se "caigan" hacia dentro, al tomar curvas con fuerza. Dos correas anchas de acero reforzadas con nailon enrollado en espiral proporcionan fortaleza, un andar con calidad uniforme y capacidad para trabajar a velocidades elevadas.

Extreme Performance Summer tires are not ordinary by any standards. Designed to bring race tire-like performance to the street, today's Extreme Performance Summer tires are capable of delivering ultimate dry traction levels on par with yesterday's dedicated track tires. All this while still providing longer treadwear and more reasonable road manners than any track tire could ever deliver.
This year there's a bumper crop of new Extreme Performance Summer tires with new products from Bridgestone, Kumho and Yokohama. Watch how these new tires performed.

Everyone must be too busy driving.
BFGoodrich introduced the Extreme Performance Summer category with their g-Force T/A KD. Its dry traction and handling approached the level of R-compound tires, but stayed street friendly. To reestablish itself in the category, they launched the g-Force Rival to rival the dry performance of other category tires.
Does it?
