From 2026 Bridgestone will become the NZSBK series' official tyre.
The two-year deal will reduce costs for riders, provide a level of consistency and support the long-term commercial sustainability of the sport.
This partnership with Bridgestone, through New Zealand distributor Whites Powersports Group, is a step towards ensuring the future of NZSBK and fostering the next generation of riders.
“The fundamental outcome for us is to assist in making road-racing in New Zealand cheaper and more accessible to the racing community,” Whites Powersports Group General Manager Adrian Cox says.
“We will also provide a consistent supply of stock to ensure a better service and experience for the NZSBK participants.”
Bridgestone representatives will attend all rounds from 2026, where extra tyres will be available for purchase.
This NZSBK tyre allocation form is to aid in stock certainty and racer planning. You will not be charged up front for your allocation and we will set tyres aside for you on a goodwill basis. In the pre-season we will send you invoice and delivery/pick-up instructions.
The tyre allocation is taken from the MNZ NZSBK rule book and has set quantities for race events with allocation for test tyres.
Any application over this set quantity will be rejected or will be reduced to maximum allowable quantity.
Special pricing for NZSBK racers has been negotiated with Bridgestone for the series.
You must submit an NZSBK tyre allocation request form by August 31st 2025 to reserve your NZSBK series stock.
Tyres will be available for shipping or collection during January 2026.
A list of all tyres applicable for each NZSBK class can be found below.
Bridgestone slicks are sized in width/rolling diameter, rather than the traditional width/aspect ratio. Rolling diameter is measured in millimeters (mm).
This is to assist with loading accurate dimensions into data trackers, traction control configurations, etc.
