About This Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS+ 255/35R18 is a summer tire designed for sports car and performance sedan drivers who prioritize responsive handling and dry road grip in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing contact with the pavement for enhanced steering precision and cornering stability.

This tire features Bridgestone's advanced summer compound formulation optimized for temperatures above 45Β°F, with a directional tread pattern that channels water away from the contact patch. The 255/35R18 sizing provides a wide 255mm contact patch with a low 35-series sidewall profile, delivering reduced sidewall flex and improved road feedback. With no current driver evaluations available, the tire's real-world performance characteristics are still being established in the market.

Compared to all-season tires, it emphasizes maximum dry traction and handling responsiveness while sacrificing cold-weather capability. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily commuting in warmer climates.
