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 occasional 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 insignia 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 control sobre carreteras secas, mojadas o cubiertas ocasionalmente, 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.

Everyone must be too busy driving.
In the do-it-all world we live in today, it's no surprise we want one tire that can do everything: have reasonable road manners for our commute, responsive handling when a back road blast beckons, and slush and light snow winter traction.
We did a Real World Road Ride and Performance Track Drive to see if one tire really could do it all.
