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.
