Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole  Position

The Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position tyre is a new tyre from Bridgestone that is a direct replacement for the much loved S-02. The S-03 tyre has been developed from the knowledge that Bridgestone has gained from its participation in Formula One. The tyre is designed to appeal to drivers of high performance vehicles. It provides excellent levels of both wet and dry grip but does not compromise on comfort and wear. The directional nature of the tyre’s tread pattern means that it offers a very stable drive and the large blocks help to improve the levels of traction in the wet. It competes well against the likes of the Goodyear’s GSD 3 and also Dunlop’s SP9000. Both these tyres are also directional in nature. The Bridgestone S-03 is original equipment on some of the more famous Japanese marques.

Bridgestone Potenza RE040

The Bridgestone Potenza RE040 is one of the main stays of the Bridgestone tyre range. It is original equipment on many cars including Audi, BMW, Nissan and Toyota. It has been designed to work in harmony with many of the world’s best sports coupes. This means that the tyre has been produced to provide excellent levels of grip in both wet and dry conditions. However the tyre also provides good levels of comfort as would be expected by some of the most famous marques in the world. The directional tread pattern on the tyre offers good stability via the large central circumferential band. Also the large tread blocks and lateral grooves work together to improve the water dispersal, helping the tyre to minimize the risk of aquaplaning in the wet.. The Bridgestone RE040 competes very well with competitors in this sector, e.g. The Pirelli P6000, also a directional tyre. Overall the Bridgestone RE040 provides an excellent all round performance.

Special Offers

Blackcircles constantly offer excellent deals across a range of different tyre sizes, so please check our latest tyre deals on our Special Offers page. Do you know that on some vehicles it is possible to fit a different brand of tyre from what is currently on the car, you may find a different brand suits your budget and driving style better – so it’s always worth investigating. However some vehicle manufacturers do recommend that you keep the same brand of tyres that originally came on the vehicle as they have worked with the tyre manufacturers to develop vehicle specific fitments to improve the vehicle’s performance.

If you are at all unsure whether you can change brand, please call our customer service team on 0845 620 2000  who will be able to let you know whether there are any alternative brands for your vehicle. Don’t forget that Blackcircles remain independent and we pride ourselves on offering our customers impartial advice on tyres.special.gif
