Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS-02
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season drive
- Performance tire
- Improved tread life
- Upgraded handling
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS-02 is a performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Bridgestone offers a 55,000 miles tread warranty with this model.
This tire comes with the ribbed tread design and detailed notch and sipe placement to boost the controllability and driving stability. These tread elements closely follow the driving surface while tires are in motion, greatly enhancing the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s instructions. In other words, this allows the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle, promoting a safer driving experience.
Excellent tread life is ensured thanks to the model’s durable compound materials and ideal tread design. These materials slow down the treadwear rate in order to avoid early wear formations. The tread evenly distributes load and driving pressure across the tread area and prevents irregular wear. This tire also offers a superb damage resistance, avoiding cuts, punctures, and impact damage.
The tread ribs closely follow the driving surface all the time, and maximize the road gripping ability. This improves the handling dynamics. Solid shoulders, along with sipe and notch pattern improve the cornering and braking ability. The sipe detail provides additional biting edges and boosts the cornering power, while shortening the braking distance. It enables the tire to perform well at higher speeds and allows the driver to control the vehicle with ease. The compound prevents heat build-up and keeps the tire in its optimal shape while in motion.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE97AS-02 offers an exceptional year round performing ability by utilizing its all season compound materials and ribbed tread elements. These tread ribs allow the tire to perform well on dry, wet, and snow-covered road surfaces, while the compound optimizes rubber flexibility. The circumferential and lateral grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint and prevent them from causing the vehicle to hydroplane on wet and snowy roads.
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.
