ERJ staff report (DS)
Brussels -- Aston Martin has selected Bridgestone as tyre partner for the marque's first production four-door sports car, the Rapide. Bridgestone's newly-developed flagship UHP tyre, the Potenza S001, has been fitted to the Rapide as standard equipment since its launch in April 2010.
The 20-inch tyres on the Rapide (Front: 245/40ZR20 95Y, Rear: 295/35ZR20 105Y XL) were specifically developed with a higher sidewall to help dial out vibration and contribute to a quieter cabin.
“Bridgestone is proud to partner one of the world's greatest names in luxury sports cars†says Mr Didier Schneider, Vice President Original Equipment, Bridgestone Europe. “The Rapide is a true thoroughbred and one of the first sports cars to choose our new flagship Potenza S001.â€
