About This Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ 235/40R18 is a summer tire, designed for performance-oriented drivers who prioritize responsive handling and grip in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing dry traction and cornering stability while maintaining reasonable wet weather capability.

This tire features Bridgestone's advanced summer compound technology optimized for temperatures above 45Β°F, with a directional tread pattern that channels water away from the contact patch. The construction emphasizes sidewall stiffness and precise steering response, typical of the Potenza performance line. With no current driver evaluations available, the tire's real-world performance characteristics are still being established in the market.

Compared to all-season performance tires, it emphasizes maximum warm-weather grip and handling precision over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for sports cars and performance sedans used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in regions without winter weather concerns.
