Bridgestone develops Potenza Sport A for Audi
Bridgestone has been chosen by Audi to develop bespoke ultra-high-performance tyres for the new Audi e-tron GT family.
The tyre giant confirmed on September 17 the collaboration continues its long-standing relationship with Audi, with nearly every fifth car that the manufacturer sells globally equipped with Bridgestone tyres.
Bridgestone has developed the Bridgestone Potenza Sport A premium tyre to match Audi e-tron GT’s ‘pure performance without compromise’ ethos.
The Potenza Sport A is Bridgestone’s first mass-produced tyre to incorporate 55% recycled and renewable materials, following certification from International Sustainability and Carbon Certification Plus.
The tyre also boasts an EU label A-grade in rolling resistance and features a unique tread design, reinforcement technology and a carcass design that’s specifically tailored to the e-tron GT.
Potenza Sport A features Bridgestone’s Enliten technology to improve its sustainability and make it fully EV-ready. Enliten typically enables a lower environmental impact.
Developed in Europe, Potenza Sport A will be available in 265/35 R21 101XL Y (front) and 305/30 R21 104XL Y (rear) sizes.
