Bridgestone Potenza RE71R
255/40/17
The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R is an ultra high performance summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. This tire model offers exceptional summer weather traction as the tire grips the road well in wet and dry weather conditions. This tire model is not meant to be used in winter weather, as it loses its superb traction in colder temperatures. The tire’s specially designed tread pattern helps enhanced the tire’s hydroplaning resistance as the circumferential grooves and the shoulder grooves that resemble the number seven help channel water away from the footprint. While the tire will resist hydroplaning, driving in heavy rain or through still water requires caution on the driver’s side to reduce the chance of accidents.
