Bridgestone Potenza GIII

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• High speed performance

OVERVIEW

The Bridgestone Potenza GIII is a performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes great summer weather traction. The summer compound and the directional tread design significantly improve the dry and wet weather performance. The stronger compound utilizes versatile rubber materials to effectively prevent heat build-up along the tread area. On the other hand, the tread design allows the tire to optimize the grip on the road surface in summer conditions. The four circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning, as they disperse water and slush from below the footprint. This combination ensures excellent driving safety levels in summer weather conditions.

The directional tread design allows the tire to greatly improve the controllability as well. The center rib maintains the surface contact throughout the performance, ensuring a better steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The shoulder block pattern allows the tire to enhance the cornering and maneuvering power. These elements provide extra biting edges to grip the road surface during cornering. The stability of the footprint enables the tire to generate friction during braking. In this manner, the tire greatly shortens the braking distance, even in wet weather situations.

The Potenza GIII upgrades the high speed durability. The heat-resistant summer compound and the tread's surface contact work together to enable the tire to securely perform at its utmost high speed ability. They resist heat build-up, while keeping the ideal tire shape under pressure. This results in the tire's ability to securely perform at its utmost high speed capacity.
