Tyres

The 2021 Maserati MC20 supercar will roll on custom-developed Bridgestone “Potenza” tyres that – according to the manufacturer – enhance handling, dynamics, and efficiency. The bespoke tyres reportedly feature an asymmetric tread for enhanced response, and an internal crown structure to distribute the footprint pressure evenly when cornering.

Autonomous cars are being put through their paces off the road and on public streets – even at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now, the tyre development team at Bridgestone is looking to use the technology for road-noise testing in Japan from next year, in search of more precise and efficient tests.
