Bridgestone Welcomes ‘Greatest Drive’ Award

The Volkswagen Golf GTI, which fits Bridgestone Potenza tyres, has been voted the ‘Greatest Drive’ of 2005 by Auto Express magazine.

“This is excellent news,” said Andy Lane, consumer marketing manager at Bridgestone UK. “The Golf GTI is an exciting, top-of-the-range car that requires the very best in grip and control, and this is just another example of how the UK’s top cars can perform at their best on Bridgestone rubber.”

The RE050’s asymmetric tread pattern delivers enhanced wet performance and low noise levels for the Golf, while its stiff pattern blocks maximise handling.

“We have a history of original equipment fitments on award-winning cars, and it’s great to know that the top car is fitted Potenza tyres,” added Andy Lane. “The technology incorporated in these tyres is the same technology developed for the tyres on the World Championship-winning Formula One car, so they are the perfect choice for any driver demanding the highest levels of performance from their car.”
