other tires Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position
Bridgestone's Potenza S-02 Pole Position &
Potenza S-03 Pole Position Max Performance Summer tires earned
their front row starting positions when they were introduced
thanks to the combination of wet & dry performance they
provided. Bridgestone's Potenza RE050A Pole Position with UNI-T
Technology Max Performance Summer tire was developed to continue
that heritage for sports car, sports coupe & sport sedan
drivers. The Potenza RE050A Pole Position is designed to provide
exceptional dry & wet road traction along with more responsive
handling than the Potenza RE050A. Like all summer tires, it is
not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through
snow or on ice.
The Potenza RE050A Pole Position features a higher 90% silica
content tread compound molded into an asymmetric tread design
with stable shoulder elements, large tread blocks & a continuous
center rib on the outboard side to provide responsive handling,
high-speed stability & traction on dry roads, while wide
circumferential & lateral tread grooves pump water out from
under the tire’s footprint to minimize hydroplaning & aid wet
traction. Another continuous circumferential rib adjacent to the
inside shoulder blocks enhances wear quality to help reduce
noise throughout the life of the tire, especially on cars with
alignment settings that specify negative camber. The tire's
structure includes twin, handling-optimized steel belts
reinforced by spirally wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area
& enhance traction, high-speed capability & ride quality while
minimizing weight. The fabric cord body & higher sidewall
reinforcement helps blend uniform ride quality with steering
response & lateral stability.
