An ultra-high-performance all-season tire, the Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ is designed for use on sports cars and sedans and offers drivers outstanding grip in dry, wet, snowy, and winter weather, a quiet, comfortable ride, and a 50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty.

Features & Benefits

All-season tread
Black sidewall
50,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life warranty
Built with an ultra-high grip rubber compound that allows for excellent traction and performance in dry, wet, winter, and snowy conditions

Drivers of sports cars and sedans need a tire that performs at the highest level, and the Potenza RE980AS+ from Bridgestone does that and more year-round. Built with an ultra-high-silica rubber compound that increases grip and performance in dry, wet, snowy, and winter weather conditions, the Potenza RE980AS+ utilizes an advanced tread pattern with 3D full-depth siping and chamfered slots to enhance braking capabilities on wet and dry roads. Open shoulder slots and see through voids funnel water out of the tire to reduce the risk of hydroplaning on wet roads, and the Potenza RE980AS+'s long tread life makes it a common choice for drivers of the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Ford Mustang GT, and Infiniti Q50.
