The Potenza RE970AS Pole Position is Bridgestone's flagship Ultra High Performance All-Season tire developed for drivers looking to combine high speed capability with all-season traction for sophisticated sports cars, sporty coupes and high performance sedans. The Potenza RE970AS Pole Position is designed to provide predictable handling, traction and control on dry and wet roads, as well as in light snow.
The Potenza RE970AS Pole Position molds a new all-season rubber compound into a directional tread design that combines responsiveness on dry roads with traction in wet and wintry driving conditions. Notched shoulders, stable tread blocks and a continuous center rib increase tread stiffness to deliver responsive steering, predictable handling and at-the-limit braking on dry roads. A series of circumferential and lateral grooves help pump water and slush through the tire's footprint to enhance hydroplaning resistance, wet road and light snow traction.
The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon, along with a casing reinforced by a hard sidewall filler between polyester cord plies to help resist distortion at high speeds and while cornering.
El Potenza RE970AS Pole Position es el neumático insigne de Bridgestone de la categoría: Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores que desean combinar capacidad de conducir a velocidades elevadas con tracción durante las cuatro estaciones del año, en autos deportivos sofisticados, cupé deportivos y sedán de alto rendimiento. El diseño del Potenza RE970AS Pole Position proporciona maniobrabilidad predecible, tracción y contral sobre carreteras secas, mojadas o cubiertas con poca nieve.
El Potenza RE970AS Pole Position moldea un compuesto de caucho para toda estación, en una banda de rodamiento con diseño direccional, que combina respuesta al girar el volante en carreteras secas, con tracción en condiciones de manejo mojadas o invernales. Hombros cóncavos, bloques o tacos estables y un segmento central continuo, aumentan la rigidez de la huella para proporcionar respuesta al girar el volante, maniobrabilidad predecible y óptimo frenado en carreteras secas, justo antes que el sistema antibloqueo entre a trabajar. Una serie de ranuras laterales y circunferenciales, ayudan a evacuar el agua y aguanieve, en el área de contacto con la carretera, mejorando considerablemente la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning) y tracción sobre superficies mojadas o con poca nieve.
La estructura interna incluye correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral, un armazón reforzado con rellenos en el flanco, insertados entre las capas de poliéster, esto, para resistir la distorsión a velocidades elevadas o al tomar curvas.

*Tire Rack's Tire Warranty Rating is an overall rating given to tire warranties after subjectively evaluating their value for the consumer. Warranties are rated on a scale of 0-5 with 5 being the highest. This rating combines all of the aspects of each tire's warranty where applicable, including: mileage/treadlife, materials and workmanship, balance and uniformity, replacement tire cost, warranty duration and any special manufacturer's warranties that apply. See official manufacturer's warranty brochure for specific details.
NOTE: New vehicle Original Equipment tire warranties often differ from those covering replacement tires. Consult your vehicle documents to confirm Original Equipment tire warranty coverage.
The Original Equipment applications for this tire are not available online at this time. Please call 888-541-1777 to speak with one of our sales specialists. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
