UHP All Season tires

This tire has a great warranty, which means that it's expected to last a 
                            long time based on the tire type. Regular tire maintenance, such as rotation and alignment, 
                            and safe driving habits are key to ensuring this tire hits its stated mileage warranty.

Great Mileage Warranty

Potenza RE980AS+

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.

This product is covered by a 50,000 mile manufacturer’s treadlife warranty. Merchandise covered by a manufacturer’s warranty is sold with the warranty by the 
        manufacturer extended to the purchaser. We will be happy to assist in obtaining fulfillment of a manufacturer’s 
        warranty. Other than applicable manufacturers’ warranties, there are no warranties, express or implied, 
        including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. The only tires SimpleTire can 
        warranty are brand new defects (meaning that they have not been mounted or driven on). Any bead damaged will be 
        void of any warranty claim. Any other adjustments should be taken to the nearest authorized dealer for that 
        manufacturer. Sometimes the manufacturer also provides a treadlife warranty and mileage rating. Please be aware 
        that not all tires hold a mileage warranty from the manufacturer. Different tire models, even from the same 
        manufacturer, may or may not come with a treadlife warranty.

Mileage Warranty

The maximum carrying capacity for a tire determined by the manufacturer.

Load Index

Maximum speed capability to safely carry a load for an extended period of time.

Max Speed

The maximum load carrying strength at the specified inflation pressure, also known as ply rating.

Load Range

The side of the tire between the tread and rim, with cosmetic branding as well as information about the tire including manufacturer, model, size, etc.

Sidewall

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out.

Tread Depth

The highest inflation pressure (measured in pounds of force per square inch, PSI) the tire is designed to contain, and should only be used when called for by the vehicle placard.

Inflation Pressure

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.

Part Number

Tread design (or tread pattern) can affect handling, traction & noise for different driving styles & road conditions.

Tread Design

Tire Weight

The measurement of width from a tires inner sidewall to the outer sidewall.

Section Width

The range of widths the rim of the vehicle can be for this tire to be safely mounted on.

Rim Range

The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied.

Overall Diameter

The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ tires generally perform well as all-season tires, offering good grip, comfort, and value. They seem to be a significant upgrade for many users compared to their previous tires. However, their performance in extreme winter conditions may be limited, and some users have concerns about longevity. Overall, they appear to be a solid choice for those seeking a balance of performance and comfort in an all-season tire.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ tires receive mixed reviews, with a majority of customers expressing satisfaction with their performance and value.

Great tires so far after the first 5000 miles....
