Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS-02 Tires
The Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS-02 is a performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles.
The ribbed tread design, with notch and sipe detail, boosts the controllability and driving stability of the vehicle. The ribbed tread pattern ensures the road contact by providing a high number of biting edges, allowing the tire to respond faster and more precisely to the driver’s instructions. This significantly enhances the driver’s control over the vehicle and promotes a better driving experience throughout the year.
The durable materials work together with the specially designed tread to offer a superb tread life and usability. The tread design balances out load and driving pressure across the tread area and prevents the formation of irregular wear. The durable compound avoids premature wear by slowing down the treadwear rate. It also resists damage, such as cuts, punctures, and impact damage from shortening the tire usability and service life.
This tire comes with detailed tread ribs that boost the overall maneuvering ability and promote a superb high speed performance. The tread’s sipe and notch design provides a high number of biting edges, boosting the cornering and braking power. The tire generates friction at the moment of braking, shortening the braking distance, while shoulder sipes improve the cornering ability. On the other hand, the compound is able to avoid heat build-up across the tread area. This greatly improves the tire’s ability to safely perform at high speeds.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS-02 utilizes its ribbed tread pattern and durable compound materials to provide a superb year round performance. The compound optimizes rubber flexibility all the time, while ribbed tread elements boost the traction on dry, wet, and snow-covered road surfaces. The circumferential and lateral grooves disperse water and slush away from the footprint, preventing the vehicle from hydroplaning in rainy and snowy weather conditions.
This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select vehicles.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
