Tire Rack Test Results Bridgestone Turanza EL42 RFT

3rd Generation Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT 3G Run-Flat the Charm?(05:10)

The Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT is the first non-O.E.M. tire line to feature Bridgestone's 3G run-flat design. It also uses the same tread pattern and compound as the non-run-flat Potenza RE960AS Pole Position. This presented a unique opportunity for the Tire Rack team to compare these two side by side and evaluate what changes adding run-flat capability brings to ride comfort and handling.
