Description
The Bridgestone Potenza S001 (BMW RFT) is a high-performance, original equipment (OE) run-flat tyre designed for vehicles like the BMW 3-series, offering superb dry handling, excellent traction and braking, and impressive wet performance. Key features include optimum block rigidity for grip, interconnected tread blocks for stability, high-angle lug grooves and wide channels for water evacuation, and a special tread compound for consistent performance across summer temperatures. The Run-Flat Technology (RFT) allows the driver to continue driving for a limited distance (up to 80km at 80km/h) after a puncture, providing a significant safety advantage.
- Dry Handling:
The tyre features optimum block rigidity, which provides excellent traction and braking performance, and contributes to responsive steering and cornering.
- Wet Performance:
High-angle lug grooves and wide tread blocks effectively channel water away from the tyre, improving its aquaplaning resistance and providing superior traction in wet conditions.
- Stability:
Stiff shoulder blocks and interconnected tread blocks enhance stability and control during high-speed drives, sudden braking, and cornering.
Run-Flat Technology (RFT)
- Safety Feature:As a run-flat tyre, the S001 RFT allows for continued driving at a reduced speed for a limited distance after a puncture.
- Convenience:This enables the driver to reach a safe location to stop and seek assistance, eliminating the immediate need for a roadside tyre change.
- Heat-Controlling Technology:
The tyre incorporates technology to quickly dissipate heat, which helps to prolong its lifespan.
- Nylon-Reinforced Structure:
The tyre’s internal structure is reinforced with nylon to boost its overall durability and traction.
- Balanced Performance:The design aims to balance dry and wet grip with a comfortable, smooth ride, making it suitable for spirited driving and everyday use.
