Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS Tires
The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS is a high performance, all season tire made to be mounted on performance and passenger cars and SUVs. It has a 50,000 mile tread wear warranty.
The tire offers excellent all weather traction and it grips the road well in dry, wet and winter weather due to the all season tire compound and the special asymmetric tread design. The tread pattern features high density 3D full depth sipes which improve the traction in winter conditions and provide excellent performance, even after tread wear occurs. The tread pattern improves the hydroplaning resistance by eliminating water from below the tire footprint. This improves the wet weather traction and maintains high speed stability.
The 3D sipes also improve the tread stability. The stability of the interlocking tread pattern extends the tread life by not letting the tread elements shift around during the drive. This also improves the road contact, which enhances the braking ability of the model. The tire grips the road better which shortens the braking distance as a result. The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS’s tread pattern, with its optimized variable pitch sequence, offers a comfortable and quiet driving experience as it cancels out the road noise generated while the tires are in motion.
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.
