Features and Benefits: Improved controllability; Year-round traction; High speed durability; Quiet performance; Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS TiresThe Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS is a high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Bridgestone offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The model upgrades its controllability and maneuvering. The asymmetric tread design and the durable rubber compound improve the tires contact with the driving surface. These elements ensure the models increased steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering response time is quicker and more accurate to the drivers instructions, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The wide shoulder blocks utilize siping details for better cornering. The special siping details shorten the braking distance by creating friction while stopping. These elements guarantee a safe driving experience, while the driver has full control over the vehicle. All season performance and hydroplaning resistance are provided with this model. The optimized tread elements and the all season compound boost the tires dry, wet, and winter traction. In this manner, the ideal tread pattern maintains surface contact in changing conditions, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible from warm to cold temperatures. Circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint in order to resist hydroplaning. As a result, these elements guarantee a safe driving experience. High speed durability is uprooted with this tire. The ideal tread design keeps constant road contact during the performance, while the strengthened internal structure does not allow the tire to deform under driving pressure. At the same time, the special silica compound prevents heat build-up on the tread area throughout the performance. This combination enables the tire to perform at its best high speed capability. The Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS offers a quiet and comfortable performance. The asymmetric tread pattern and its close road contact reduce the road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicles cabin. This footprint channels airwaves away, preventing them from coming into contact with the tread elements and generating noise. This ensures the passengers quiet and comfortable driving experience. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
