Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ 

This is my favorite tire I have ever had. This tire has an extremely quite ride. The wet traction is outstanding as well. I have used the Launch control while on a wet surface and didn't get much if any spin at all. I have about 8k on the tires and they still look pretty new and have even wear. I strongly recommend this tire. Being in North Texas i have yet to encounter any snowy conditions with these tires.

Overall great tire. Great handling for an all season but perceptively less traction off the stoplight when compared against my previous pair of Pilot summer tires. All that said, there's one experience that solidified this tire as my go-to for my commuter cars. During my drive to work one day, I was forced to make a last minute maneuver to avoid debris that fell off a truck in front of me on the highway. At the time it was raining and I was doing around 75mph so I was certain my quick steering was about to cause me to lose traction, but instead these tires maintained grip through the whole event. Because of that experience, I'll definitely be buying these tires again.

Decent tire for the price. Overall performance is very good in both wet and dry conditions. Road noise is on the quiet side.

My car had Bridgestone on it when I got it, so I wanted to stick with Bridgestone. The problem was, I could not find them anywhere. Then, I saw commercial for tire rack. The cost plus shipping was the best I found for such a good tire. These tires have proven themselves, and I we'll definitely buy them again. My 4x4 was down for the wintertime, and these tires have done very well in the ice and snow. Especially being on such a light car. Thank you, Tire Rack, for the opportunity. I will buy from you again.

This tire has been great, performs great in dry and wet weather. Great ride and traction, and with its stiffer sidewall performs well in the curves. Performs exceptionally well on snow, can verify, even on low tread depth. My vehicle is lowered and my alignment was slightly off due to this however I have still managed to squeeze out close to 40,000 miles out of this set of tires without much decline in performance (currently about 3/32” tread remaining). My only complaint would be slight road noise when it begins to wear closer to 4 - 5/32”, however this is typical for a tire getting close the end of its life and in my case is likely caused my a lowered vehicle. I would recommend purchasing these again and can say this might be the best bang for your buck tire on the market.

Brand new, these have been great in the snow and cold. I will have to see how well they hold up concerning wear.

I used to run Potenza tires on my 1999 VW Golf TDI that was somewhat modified. Hot hatch was made hotter... spirited driving, YES! Drove that car for 16 yrs, then purchased a 2015 Passat.
It was most definitely NOT a hot hatch, so I chose Grand Touring tires for it. Now that I'm in a sport sedan that's a real performer, I've gone back to the Potenzas. It's been 11 years since I've driven on Potenzas, but it was like slipping back into an old, comfortable pair of shoes. I LOVE how this car rides, drives and handles with these tires. Thank you, Bridgestone for not screwing up a good thing!!

Tread life is great. I have the tires currently and haven't experienced uneven patterns.

Good wet weather traction,I had to reduce speed for snow/ice conditions.Treadwear is very good.
