Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+
The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ is a high performance, all season tire made for passenger cars and SUVs. Bridgestone offers a 50,000 mile warranty for all the available sizes. The tread is specially designed to boost the tire's gripping ability on dry, wet, and snow-covered roads.
It utilizes a large contact patch that improves its controllability. The tire's wide and detailed footprint enhances its stability. This results in better steering responsiveness and cornering. It also enables the driver to safely step on the brake, as the tire ensures a short braking distance. By constantly being in close contact with the road surface, the tire lowers road vibrations, enhancing comfort. The Potenza RE980AS+ prevents road noise from forming, guaranteeing a quiet drive.
Features
- All Weather Traction - The versatile all season compound paired with the asymmetric tread design ensures outstanding wet, dry, and winter traction.
- Improved Handling - The densely siped tread design enhances the tire's handling ability, improving its steering responsiveness and driving stability.
- Driving Comfort - The tread is engineered to absorb the driving shock, preventing road vibrations from forming and ensuring comfort.
- Low Noise Levels - The tread pattern channels the airwaves in the footprint, lowering road noise and preventing it from reaching the passenger cabin.
- Hydroplaning Prevention - Water, slush, and snow are channeled through the circumferential grooves to prevent them from blocking the road contact.
- Braking Ability - The detailed tread elements generate enough friction to significantly reduce the tire's braking distance and ensure a safe drive.
