The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ 245/40R19 is a summer tire, designed for performance-oriented drivers who prioritize responsive handling and dry road grip in warm weather conditions. Its advanced tread compound and asymmetric design focus on maximizing contact with the road surface for enhanced cornering stability and braking performance.
This tire features Bridgestone's performance-tuned rubber compound optimized for temperatures above 45°F, with a directional tread pattern that channels water away from the contact patch.
