Bridgestone Potenza RE003 – All About Control

Bridgestone’s third-generation Potenza Adrenalin – the RE003 – has set the bar even higher for the street sport tyre market, delivering improved precision and maximum control to drivers.

Since the release of the first Potenza Adrenalin, the RE001, in 2007 and its successor the RE002 in 2011, our flagship range of performance tyres has become known for sharp, responsive handling.

Since the release of the first Potenza Adrenalin, the RE001, in 2007 and its successor the RE002 in 2011, our flagship range of performance tyres has become known for sharp, responsive handling.

And now the RE003 boasts improvements across the board, particularly in dry conditions.

“Compared to the second-generation Adrenalin, which was already a leader in its class, the RE003 provides drivers with an even more outstanding driving experience,” said Jon Tamblyn, Bridgestone Australia’s National Technical Field Service Manager.

“It delivers in terms of noise, improved ride comfort and rolling resistance while offering a high level of balance between wet and dry performance.”

“Where the RE003 really excels is in its overall dry performance, offering quick response and precise handling, as well as traction and stability for maximum control.”

The RE003 offers more consistency in road contact pressure than the RE002. This improves traction, which ensures exceptional cornering performance, enhanced wet braking capabilities and reduced irregular wear.

As always with a new Bridgestone release, the key to success is our use of cutting-edge technology.

The RE003’s wide center rib and triple-and-a-half groove improve rigidity, while deflectors (raised protrusions on the floor of the pulse groove) improve drainage and help prevent hydroplaning. The silica compound rubber improves wet-handling performance while maintaining exceptional dry-handling.

As an added bonus, the RE003 comes in 43 sizes – so almost every motorist can have a version of Bridgestone’s race-winning Potenza pedigree on their car.
