Bridgestone's RE004 enhances the joy of driving for all drivers

All experienced drivers know the importance of a good set of tyres. Being the only points of contact with the road surface, tyres affect the performance, handling and feel of a car to a large extent. Great drivers don't just take corners, they rule them. These important characteristics in tyres allow them to do just so - handling and grip on both wet and dry roads, initial response, cornering, tread life as well as comfort and noise.

Bridgestone's new POTENZA Adrenalin RE004, successor to the hugely popular RE003, is designed to meet all these criteria, allowing you to not only conquer the corners, but also retain the comfort and safety that is expected of a street performance car.

Adrenalin-fuelled legacy

The RE004 is the latest addition to Bridgestone's POTENZA Adrenalin line up of tyres. In order to find out what to expect from this new tyre, we can take a look at its predecessors.

The first Bridgestone POTENZA Adrenalin, the RE001 was an excellent high-performance tyre. Developed with ex-Formula One driver Stefano Modena, it was a tyre that delivers sharp steering response, superior grip in the wet and dry, and razor-sharp cornering precision and control. All while maintaining a comfort level that is on par with other comfort-oriented tyres.

It was succeeded by the RE002, followed by the RE003 in 2015, which further refined the recipe to offer the control that is loved by all drivers - becoming Bridgestone's best-selling street performance tyre.

What's new with the RE004?

The RE004 features technology developed by Bridgestone throughout the years. It has a wide inside rib and stiff shoulder block to give drivers the sharp initial response and excellent dry grip that all Bridgestone POTENZA Adrenalin tyres are known for. It also features triple and half grooves as well as 'A' shape aggressive grooves to deliver superb handling and confidence on both dry and wet road surfaces.

The latest silica-based compound used in the RE004 features more evenly-spread silica, which improves both wet and dry performance, while offering lower rolling resistance. This means that you'll get better traction and great fuel economy with these tyres.

Why Bridgestone's RE004 is the perfect tyre for you

Bridgestone incorporated all the technology used in its predecessors and made the RE004 the best Adrenalin tyre thus far. When compared to the RE003, it excels in almost all areas of performance, with substantial improvements in dry handling and initial response, highlighting the sporty characteristics of the RE004.

Bridgestone's RE004 is designed to improve driving performance and experience without compromising on comfort. As such, it ensures utmost control with its handling and wet braking capabilities. If you are looking for improved confidence when executing a lane change manoeuvre or the ability to hold your desired line when cornering in both dry and wet road conditions, this is the tyre for you.
 
Moreover, the RE004 does not simply end at a better driving experience. With its aesthetically appealing, sporty tread design, it will definitely enhance the look of your car.

Sounds great, should I get a set of RE004?

As a street sports tyre, the RE004 isn't a set of tyres that is reserved only for the top tier performance sports cars. In fact, all cars stand to benefit from the enhanced driving experience it offers.

Its outstanding performance and incredible response make it the best choice for sporty cars such as the Toyota 86 and Mazda MX-5, hot hatches such as the Volkswagen Golf GTI or everyday sedans such as an Audi A4 - as long as you, the driver, desires some sporty and responsive handling.

Bridgestone POTENZA Adrenalin RE004 is available in popular sizes ranging from 15-inch to 20-inch. To find out more about the RE004, you can visit Bridgestone Singapore's website.
