Product description & features

Potenza RE040's design ensures good road grip and offers fantastic handling on both dry and wet weather.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE040 - 175/55 R17 W is a summer tyre.

These tyres are far from cheap - I considered the Toyos as they are rated highly too however they are excellent in the dry. Not so much in the wet.

It's only when you buy a cheaper tyre that you realise just how good these are. Don't wast you money on budget tyres which have no grip

These provide 30k miles on a BMW320D Sport with excellent grip wet or dry and are quiet running. Not cheap but good value.

Out of all the tyres I have used in the past the Bridgestone RE040 seem to last. They are only let down by their performance in the wet.

Best value for money for tyres in this high performance range. Good grip from cold with no problems in the wet. Dont expect them to last long though 6 000 miles if driven hard is all you will get..!

Standard fitted tyre on my car that provides superb dry traction. Some may say it lacks a bit in the wet when pushed. Very rigid tyre walls make for precise steering response but as a negative can be a bit noisy on the motorway. No complaints about their longevity just replacing the rears after 40k on my FWD car and no I don't drive like Miss Daisy ;-).
