Bridgestone Potenza RE040 215/45R16 86W Tire: - Lateral Grooves - Efficient evacuation and channeling of water that helps reduce hydroplaning and improves wet traction - Summer Tread Design - Offers tenacious grip and superior handling on wet or dry roads for driving enthusiasts. - Steel belt construction - Adds durability and resists punctures - Circumferential tread grooves - Evacuates and channels water efficiently to help reduce hydroplaning and to improve wet traction - Spiral Wrap - Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability. - Directional Tread Pattern - Maximizes both wet and dry performance, as well as other tire characteristics. By specifying that the tread pattern is to be mounted on the vehicle in a single direction only, the many design compromises found in conventional tires which can be mounted in two directions are eliminated. This provides the ability to include a wider variety of specific performance characteristics such as high resistance to hydroplaning in each tire. - Continuous Center Rib - Helps reduce noise while providing constant road contact to enhance straight-line stability. Enhance responsiveness, as well as wet and dry traction when accelerating or braking.
