Bridgestone Potenza RE 71 RZ im Test
The Bridgestone Potenza RE-71RS (and the updated RZ variant) is widely regarded as a benchmark in the 200-treadwear extreme performance category, offering exceptional dry grip, rapid warm-up, and predictable handling for autocross and track enthusiasts. While users note that they are significantly more refined and quieter on the street than their predecessors, they remain a specialized competition tire that can be noisy and prone to hydroplaning in heavy rain.

Vorteile
- Outstanding dry grip and lateral stability
- Predictable and communicative handling at the limit
- Rapid warm-up times suitable for short autocross runs
- Improved road refinement and lower noise levels compared to the previous RE-71R
- Consistent performance across a wide temperature range
Nachteile
- Rapid tread wear, especially under heavy track use
- Poor performance in standing water and high hydroplaning risk
- Stiff sidewalls make mounting on some rims difficult
- Tendency to pick up and throw road debris due to sticky compound
- Limited size availability for certain performance vehicles
Gut zu wissen
- Users with lightweight vehicles like the Mazda Miata report excellent longevity and comfort, while heavier cars (4000lbs+) experience faster tread depletion.
- Drivers note that the tire's performance is highly sensitive to tire pressure, with many finding that lower 'hot' pressures are required to prevent the tire from feeling greasy.
- Some users report that the stiff sidewall construction makes mounting on specific wheel widths challenging, occasionally requiring professional assistance.
