Bridgestone Potenza RE71R


In the street or at the starting line, it’s time to kick it into high gear. The Bridgestone Potenza RE71R isn’t your ordinary ultra-high performance summer tire.

Built with technology inspired by racing, this Bridgestone tire is designed to maximize your sports car’s performance while braking, cornering, and maneuvering.

To achieve this, the Potenza RE 71R utilizes its special compound optimized for maximum grip, a wide center rib to enable agile steering, and a stiff outer shoulder that allows for extreme cornering. And, this tire is more than capable of handling wet conditions thanks to its specially designed surface, which helps promote water drainage.

Bridgestone Potenza RE71R Features

  • Achieve maximum grip with unique construction and race-ready tread compound
  • Engineered with Bridgestone's most extreme racing-inspired technology
  • Take corners with confidence thanks to enhanced shoulder stiffness

Bridgestone Potenza RE71R Treadwear and Warranty

If you want the most robust protection available for your new Bridgestone Potenza RE71R tires, consider investing in our exclusive and industry-leading Certificates.

If you do, you get complete coverage and your new Bridgestone Potenza RE71R tires will be protected down to 3/32" of wear. And in the extremely unlikely event these tires sustain damage that can't be repaired, you'll get a brand new replacement Potenza RE71R .

(You can add our Certificate coverage in the cart of your order.)

Designed for maximum grip under braking and cornering conditions, the Bridgestone Potenza RE71R extreme-performance summer tire is not for the faint of heart.

      These are road legal competition tires. They will show you some of the most grip your vehicle can offer, but they wear away very fast and are good for what they are in the rain, which is so not as good as a regular street tire. If you want to win races, I recommend these 100%

      I only drive this car about 1200 a year so I thought that I should enjoy it. The last tires had to be replaced due to age, not worn out. They still grip well and have good tread remaining.
