Description
The Potenza RE980AS from Bridgestone is designed for high-end sports cars, sporty coupes, and sedans.
Perfect for motorists who want to combine speed and predictable control in wet and dry conditions, the Potenza RE980AS features a soft tread compound associated with increased grip, but sometimes with rapid wear, which is not the case! With a wear rating of 500 combined with hard rubber tires, the RE980AS is built to last a long time.
It provides optimum performance on dry or wet pavement in temperate weather conditions.
Performance without compromising comfort
The Potenza RE980AS's internal construction consists of three polyester layers on the sidewalls and two polyester layers in the tread area to balance handling response and ride comfort. The sidewalls are very stiff and resistant to deformation for improved handling. The two steel belts are reinforced with spirally wound nylon tape for better speed resistance.
The Potenza RE980AS features silica-enriched treads for excellent handling and exceptional performance on wet and dry pavement. The Potenza RE980AS guarantees safety and control.
Its continuous center rib promotes steering sensitivity, and its 3D tread pattern improves braking and traction.
The Potenza RE980AS's sole grooves are interconnected to facilitate the evacuation of water from the contact surface. In heavy rain, it shows no signs of hydroplaning.
In conclusion, this is a high-performance tire that should satisfy any driver.

The Genesis G90 is a hard car to find 18" rims that will clear the large front brake caliper. The new rims and tires fit perfectly. When I sent in a set of TPMS sensors, I did not realize that they were sold without the mounting nuts. I asked Dominic Vaillancourt to see if the local Hyundai dealership had them in stock rather than waste time mailing them from Toronto. I was not even charged for them! I was also surprised that they they came via overnight shipping via Fedex. I am so happy to keep my business here in Canada too.
