Bridgestone has some new rubber it describes as suitable for “circuit to street”. The new Battlax Racing Street RS12 is a premium sports tyre that uses racing-derived technology to provide the highest level of dry grip in the firm’s road-legal range. The RS12 uses a HE-MS belt structure – the first commercial tyre to do so – and has a track-developed compound moulded with a new tread pattern that improves tyre rigidity and provides a larger contact area when cornering. It comes in a single front wheel fitting of 120/70 ZR17 and three 17in rear fittings: 180/55, 190/55 and 200/55.
