Bridgestone launches Adrenalin RE002 Potenza tyre line expansion

Bridgestone has launched the Adrenalin RE002, in an extension its premium Potenza sport tyre line-up. The Potenza Adrenalin RE002 provides a contrast with Bridgestone’s original equipment and replacement market flagship, the Potenza S001, by offering a sportier feel, largely tuned for dry performance. It is designed to increase steering response and handling for the two-seat roadster, hot hatchback or tuned car driver.

To enhance dry handling and sheer driving pleasure, the tread design boasts large, stiff outer blocks with a 3D connection between shoulder and adjacent rib, giving the tyre additional cornering ability. Road grip and sporty manoeuvring are enhanced by the wide offset rib design with grooved edge and waved centre block.

The Adrenalin also gives the wet security drivers need in European weather conditions through its new “pulse” groove and deflector technology, which breaks the water film faster in front of the footprint and deflects it away from under the tyre, increasing resistance to hydroplaning.

Tomio Fukuzumi, director consumer products, Bridgestone Europe said: “With this range expansion, the new Potenza Adrenalin RE002 is appealing to new Bridgestone consumers. We are targeting enthusiasts who love a sporty feel and want an alternative to touring tyres.”

The tyre is available now in 15” to 18” sizes, in 60 to 40 series.
