The Potenza S-04
Pole Position is Bridgestone's Max Performance Summer tire
developed for the drivers of ultra high performance sports cars,
coupes and sedans who want to feel the rush of driving their
vehicle. Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires are designed to
perform in warm, wet and dry conditions. However like all summer
tires, they are not intended to be driven in near freezing
temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Potenza S-04 Pole Position features an asymmetric tread
design with a large outboard shoulder, interlocking tread blocks
and a central circumferential rib to enhance dry road steering
response, high speed stability and cornering precision. High
angle tread blocks in the intermediate ribs promote longitudinal
stiffness to enhance straight-line braking forces while slanted
lateral grooves pump water into wide circumferential grooves to
help resist hydroplaning. 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 internal structure features a lightweight belt
package consisting of twin steel belts supported by a spirally
wrapped aramid/nylon cord reinforcement that enhances ride
quality and high speed durability. Active rubber inserts in the
sidewalls near the bead areas tune vertical sidewall stiffness
to blend cornering grip with ride comfort. |
