Select Vehicle or Tire SizeBridgestone S-02 and Potenza S-02 tires are Max Performance Summer tires developed for high performance sports cars, coupes and sedans. Developed for Original Equipment use on selected Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche vehicles, they were designed to combine responsive and predictable handling with exceptional levels of traction. Bridgestone S-02 and Potenza S-02 tires are tuned for dry and wet conditions, but like all summer tires are not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
Bridgestone S-02 and Potenza S-02 tires feature Bridgestone's UNI-T (Ultimate Network of Intelligent Tire Technology) that uses design, construction and tread compound features to enhance tire performance.
Bridgestone S-02 and Potenza S-02 tires feature 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. Their internal structures include twin steel belts reinforced by a spirally wrapped cap ply combined with spirally 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.
El neumático S-02 y el Potenza S-02 de Bridgestone pertenecen a la categoría: Máximo Rendimiento Para Verano y fueron diseñados para autos deportivos de alto rendimiento, cupé y sedán. Usado como equipo original (O.E. por sus siglas en inglés) en modelos selectos Aston Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes-Benz y Porsche, el diseño de estos neumáticos combina maniobrabilidad y respuesta predecible, con niveles de tracción extraordinarios. El S-02 y el Potenza S-02 están afinados para su uso sobre superficies secas y mojadas, pero como todo neumático de verano no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
También poseen la tecnología UNI-T de Bridgestone que utiliza un diseño, características de construcción y un compuesto de caucho, para aumentar el rendimiento del neumático.
El S-02 y el Potenza S-02 poseen una banda de rodamiento con diseño direccional que cuenta con ranuras laterales con "ángulos altos" alineados efectivamente para extraer el agua de la huella del neumático rápidamente y minimizar el deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning). Los bloques largos y un segmento continuo en el centro proveen maniobrabilidad responsiva, estabilidad y tracción a velocidades elevadas.
Internamente, correas gemelas de acero son reforzadas por una capa envuelta en espiral combinada con correas de soporte en los hombros, para minimizar el peso y estabilizar el área interior de la banda de rodamiento, al vez de aumentar el control y la capacidad del neumático a velocidades elevadas. Los cordones de poliéster o rayón incorporan un relleno de caucho duro en los flancos, que son reforzados por alambre, para ayudar a combinar la calidad del andar con mayor estabilidad al maniobrar.
