Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS tires receive overwhelmingly positive reviews for their exceptional grip, performance, and versatility across various driving conditions.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE 71RS tires are highly regarded for their exceptional grip and performance in both dry and wet conditions. They excel in track use, often helping drivers achieve faster lap times, while still being suitable for street driving. The tires offer a good balance of performance characteristics, including quick warm-up, responsive handling, and predictable behavior. However, the trade-off for this high level of performance is a shorter tread life and potentially decreased fuel efficiency. Despite these drawbacks, many users find the performance benefits worth the cost and consider the RE 71RS to be among the best high-performance radial tires available.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS is an ultra-high-performance summer tire that's designed for street or track use, and incorporates an advanced rubber compound with lightweight construction and a reinforced casing for rigidity and responsive handling.



Features & Benefits

  • Ultra-high-performance summer tread; should not be used when temperatures are consistently below 45 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Black sidewall
  • Backed by Bridgestone's 90-Day Buy and Try Guarantee (certain terms and conditions apply)
  • Slick outside shoulder block and reinforced shoulder for extreme cornering

Bridgestone has decades of experience in the motorsports world, and leveraged that design know-how into the Potenza RE-71RS. This addition to the Potenza series of tires features a slick outer shoulder block that helps maintain tread contact with the road even during high-speed cornering. The Potenza RE-71RS features a high-grip polymer tread compound and asymmetric tread pattern for excellent dry-weather grip, and a combination of nylon reinforcement plies and high-tensile steel belt package enhances high-speed stability. Additionally, Bridgestone covers the Potenza RE-71RS with their 90-day Try and Buy guarantee (certain terms and conditions apply).
