Bridgestone Tires Potenza S001 Runflat 225/40R18 92Y XL

The run-flat version of Potenza S001 tires adds upon the already immaculately designed and executed product with the added feature of being able to sustain a vehicle's weight even when deflated. These tires are also featured as original equipment for many coupes, sedans, and sports cars which tells us a lot about their resilience and high-performance capabilities. The sidewalls of the tires are pretty robust and can carry the weight of the vehicle for 80 kilometers at a speed of 80kmph even after a puncture � yes, 80 kilometers without any air pressure in the tires! This advanced run-flat technology is a major selling point, after all, who likes being stranded on the roadside after getting a flat in the summers? But this is only the tip of the iceberg. The �ulti-performance� block, present on the outside, has been expanded and reinforced, this allows it to deliver better handling performance on both wet and dry surfaces. The center rib is semi-slick and works pretty well with improving the steering response of the vehicle and thus affords a greater level of confidence to the driver. The tire also strategically placed grooves towards the inside edge which help with better water evacuation and thus prevent hydroplaning, this way, the tires maintain perfect traction even on wet surfaces.
