Leading global tyre manufacturer, Bridgestone is the OE tyre supplier for Lamborghini's Huracan STO which is a super sports car to be launched in 2021.
Bridgestone, has engineered a supreme quality, tailor-made tyre for the Lamborghini Huracán STO. This high-performance tyre is capable of withstanding the Huracan STO's fully potential performance. The tyres can handle the extreme overall performance of the vehicle. The tyre is based on Bridgestone's Potenza range of tyres.
The Bridgestone Potenza tyres specifically developed for Lamborghini’s Huracán STO supercar are the result of the latest collaboration between two industry giants. Like the Lamborghini Huracán STO, the custom-engineered Bridgestone Potenza tyres are structured with the perfect balance of technology and design.
Key to the tyre’s success in maximizing the super sports car’s performance is the combination of pattern and cavity design. The tyre has been created with the state of the art technologies. The Potenza tyres consists of an asymmetric tread design meant for enhanced steering response and cornering stability, and an internal crown structure that distributes footprint pressure evenly when cornering. These features, combined with a newly developed tread compound that enhances grip, help to bring the Huracán STO’s track-level performance to road users.
