Notable Features
Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS is a super-wide UHP all-season tire designed for the drivers of sports coupes and high-performance sedans. The tire combines high-speed capabilities and predictable behavior in wet and dry conditions with safe operation on light snow. A model of the fall of 2017.
The optimized asymmetric tread pattern of the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS is designed to provide the perfect balance between the tire’s wet and dry performance, at the same time maintaining a smooth and noiseless ride. The beveled edges of the lateral grooves increase the dry braking performance, while the full-size 3D sipes prevent tread deformation.
The high density of 3D sipes serves to increase the edge effect, which automatically improves wet traction. The sipe depth makes it possible to maintain the high performance of the Potenza RE 980 AS throughout its entire tread life.
Combined into one single network, the grooves and sipes of this UHP all-season tire help to quickly evacuate water from the contact area, while the open design of the shoulder areas with a 20% increase in the void-to-tread ratio in comparison to the predecessor model Bridgestone Potenza RE970AS ensures higher hydroplaning resistance.
The polyester carcass of the Bridgestone Potenza RE 980 AS features double-ply construction and high curvature for better balance between handling response and ride comfort. The high rigidity of the Bridgestone RE980AS’s sidewalls improves the steering feedback, while the double steel breaker strip, reinforced with a layer of spiral nylon, allows the tire to tackle extra challenges posed by high-speed driving.
