The Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT is a replacement self-supporting run-flat tire for the sport coupe or performance sedan driver looking to enhance ride quality over their Original Equipment run-flat tires. This run-flat option offers the same extended mobility safety features of an Original Equipment run-flat tire, but it also tackles one of the shortcomings of having a self-supporting run-flat tire: ride comfort.
Until now, self-supporting run-flat tires have always been characterized as having a stiffer ride than a conventional tire. Bridgestone's Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT is designed to dramatically improve ride comfort while maintaining the security of a run-flat tire. Certain vehicles from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and MINI have run-flat tires as factory installed equipment, and in an effort to reduce vehicle weight, have not been equipped with a spare tire. The Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT will give drivers the dry and wet road performance they have come to expect from their vehicle while providing year-round drivability, including light snow conditions.
During a recent road test, I had a chance to compare the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT with other popular run-flat tires and felt this tire was superior and absorbed the bumps and variations in the road, while maintaining the quietest ride of the group. If your vehicle has factory installed run-flat tires and you're looking to enhance the ride comfort and cold weather capability, the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position RFT may be the right tire for you.
