Bridgestone Potenza Re040

The RE040 is designed to increase stability and control at high speeds. For the production of the tyre, a modern blend of rubber was used, provides high grip, which greatly increases safety of braking. Two continuous central ribs along with large blocks in the centre provide maximum stability and traction on dry roads. By contrast, peripheral transverse grooves disperse water from the tyre, thereby preventing aquaplaning and increasing traction on wet roads. One online retailer adds that this tyre is original equipment on certain Lexus models.
