Potenza RE970AS Pole Position

Features & Benefits

• Feature: Steel belt construction
  Benefit: Adds durability and resists punctures
• Feature: CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System)
  Benefit: Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
• Feature: O-Bead
  Benefit: Improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction
• Feature: Lateral Grooves
  Benefit: Efficient evacuation and channeling of water that helps reduce hydroplaning and improves wet traction
• Feature: All-Season Tread Design
  Benefit: Enhances year-round performance with open-slotted shoulders.
• Feature: Circumferential tread grooves
  Benefit: Evacuates and channels water efficiently to help reduce hydroplaning and to improve wet traction
• Feature: Directional Tread Pattern
  Benefit: Maximizes both wet and dry performance, as well as other tire characteristics. By specifying that the tread pattern is to be mounted on the vehicle in a single direction only, the many design compromises found in conventional tires which can be mounted in two directions are eliminated. This provides the ability to include a wider variety of specific performance characteristics such as high resistance to hydroplaning in each tire.
• Feature: L.L. Carbon (Long Link)
  Benefit: Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure
• Feature: Spiral Wrap
  Benefit: Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability.
• Feature: Hard sidewall filler
  Benefit: Helps resist distortion at high speeds and while cornering.
