The Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position is highly regarded for its exceptional wet-weather performance and precise dry handling characteristics. While it offers a confident, planted feel in rain and dry conditions, users report that it lacks the necessary traction for effective winter driving in heavy snow environments.

Pros

  • Exceptional wet traction and hydroplaning resistance
  • Precise cornering feedback and handling
  • Solid, planted feel in dry conditions
  • Lack of vague or slushy steering response

Cons

  • Poor performance in snow and winter conditions
  • Limited capability for high-horsepower vehicles in cold climates

Worth knowing

  • High-horsepower vehicles, such as the 400bhp Jaguar S-Type R, may find the tire's winter limitations particularly pronounced.
