All-season tire for passenger cars Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS is designed for use in regions where a stable snow cover is not established in winter. This model is distinguished by stable traction, primarily on wet surfaces with separate areas of thawed snow.
The symmetrical tread pattern is characterized by a dense arrangement and large size of elements. In combination with the optimization of the tire's tread profile, this significantly increases the contact patch, providing high uniformity of pressure on the road surface. As a result, stability of traction on dry pavement is achieved. On wet pavement, the effectiveness of the tread is maintained at a very high level due to the large number of lamellas and increased volume of grooves. This is more than enough to prevent the effect of aquaplaning even at high speeds.
Key features of Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS
- increased area and optimal shape of the contact patch improve handling, increase tread wear resistance;
- a large number of lamellas and drainage grooves provide reliability in handling on wet pavement;
- excellent directional stability at high speeds due to the increased stiffness of the double central rib and large blocks on the edges of the tread.
