Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS Review

Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS is a High Performance All-Season tire designed to fit minivans, passenger cars and sport utility vehicles , currently available in 15 tire sizes, with the lowest price starting from $159.96.

High performance all-season tires offer a balanced blend of good handling, year-round traction and treadlife. Branded with the Mud and Snow symbol, high performance all-season tires are designed to provide year-round traction with tread compounds that stay flexible in cold weather to combine all-season traction with good handling.

Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS is developed for high-speed capability and predictable handling in dry and wet conditions combined with confident year-round performance, even in light snow. The Potenza RE980AS molds an all-season compound into an asymmetric, noise-optimized tread pattern to balance dry and wet performance with quiet comfort. The tire's lateral slots are chamfered to improve rubber-to-road contact and aid in dry braking, while the 3D full-depth sipes interlock for tread stability. High sipe density creates the biting edges for traction in slippery conditions, and their full depth helps maintain performance over time. The Potenza RE980AS's tread pattern slots and grooves are interconnected to facilitate water evacuation from the contact patch, and open shoulder slots combine with 20% more see-through void than its predecessor to further reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Internal construction of the Potenza RE980AS consists of three polyester sidewall plies and two polyester plies in the tread area to balance handling response and ride comfort. The high-stiffness sidewall filler resists distortion for responsive handling, and the twin steel belts are reinforced by a spirally wound, nylon wrap for high-speed capability.
