The Potenza RE960AS Pole Position with UNI-T AQ II Technology is the
Ultra High Performance All-Season member of Bridgestone’s Potenza
family of performance tires for the drivers of sports cars, sports
coupes and performance sedans. The Potenza RE960AS Pole Position is
designed to provide year-round driving flexibility by offering
predictable handling, traction and control on dry and wet roads, as
well as in light snow.
The Potenza RE960AS Pole Position features
Bridgestone’s UNI-T AQII Technology that uses advanced compound and
construction features to enhance and preserve wet traction through the
tire’s life. It molds a dual-layer, all-season tread compound into a
directional design to provide stability on dry roads while its grooves
help pump water and slush through the tire's footprint to increase
hydroplaning resistance and foul weather traction. Scalloped multi-edge
lateral grooves on the leading edge of each tread block and multiple
sipes in each tread block increase the number of biting edges to
enhance wet road and light snow traction. The tire's structure includes
twin steel belts reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon, along with a
carcass reinforced by a hard sidewall filler between polyester cord
plies to help resist distortion at high speeds and while cornering.
