Bridgestone Americas Inc. has been chosen by Porsche to develop bespoke tires for its new Macan Electric and Panamera models.
Both vehicles are now available with custom-engineered Potenza Sport ultra-high performance tires.
The Panamera can also be fitted with tailor-made Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 tires – Bridgestone's first original fitment for Porsche.
“After our collaboration on the Porsche Cayenne, we’re breaking new ground in our partnership and offering premium tire fitments to help enhance the driving experience of new Porsche models,” says Steven De Bock, vice president of original equipment (OE) at Bridgestone EMEA.
“We’re proud to share two firsts—the Panamera’s first Bridgestone OE fitment and our first bespoke tire for an electric Porsche car with the Macan Electric. It is exciting to showcase our ability to provide a range of premium fitments that will help Porsche’s drivers get the most out of these two incredible and very different cars.”
The Porsche Macan Electric’s custom Potenza Sport tire applies a tread and compound design that enhances the vehicle's sporty performance while maintaining high weight and torque.
Bridgestone has provided Porsche Panamera drivers with two fitments – the 21-inch Bridgestone Portenza Sport Tire and the bespoke 20-inch Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 winter fitment.
