Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position Tire Review

Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position tires are designed especially for drivers of high performing sports cars, coupes, and sedans who want a tire to match that performance. The good news is that you will get that in this new Bridgestone model.

This summer tire has an asymmetrical tread design that sports a larger outboard shoulder, tread blocks that interlock and of course, a circumferential rib for enhanced steering control on dry roads. The cornering and stability on this tire at high speeds is amazing.

The tread blocks are designed in two ways: the longitudinal (for stiffness) and the lateral (to avoid hydroplaning). It is also designed with an added circumferential rib that works together with the inner shoulder blocks to reduce noise and wearing.

Inside the tire are dual steel belts that are strengthened by a spiral wrap of aramid or nylon for a better ride quality, speed and most importantly, increased durability. The sidewalls of the tire are equipped with rubber inserts for better cornering grip and a more comfortable ride.

Overall, the Bridgestone Potenza S-04 Pole Position has to be considered one of the best high performance summer tires you will find available today. They grip like glue in the corners and handle wonderfully on wet roads. Yes, they are pricey but the tread life is far above what you might expect from a tire in this class. Highly recommended.
