Your performance vehicle needs high performance tires for it to be able to perform at its best high speed capability. Such tires are capable of handling high speed performance with ease, by maintaining the optimal tire shape and traction needed. Their tread design and tire compound help prevent heat build-up during the drive. These tires usually come with excellent summer weather traction.
We at Priority Tire offer you a wide range of different high performance models for your passenger and performance vehicles. One of our best-selling models is Bridgestone’s Potenza S-04 Pole Position. This model guarantees first-rate summer weather traction, superb high speed controllability, a comfortable driving experience and exceptional high speed performance.

Summer Weather Performance
Tires that offer great summer weather traction enable the vehicle’s safe performance in dry and wet weather. These tires are not suited for cold temperature winter driving.
The Potenza S-04 Pole Position provides great summer weather road gripping ability. The silica-based tire compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design with large tread elements to improve the dry and wet traction and grip. The compound keeps the tire’s flexibility and prevents weather damage in hot and wet conditions, while the tread elements increase the grip on the road surface. In this manner, the tire ensures a stronger performance and driving safety in all summer weather.
The tire promotes excellent hydroplaning resistance. The asymmetric tread design features three wide circumferential and numerous angled lateral grooves that channel water from below the tire’s footprint. As a result, the tire maintains its road contact at all times, preventing hydroplaning and boosting the wet and winter weather performance.
High Speed Controllability and Handling
High performance tires must have quick and precise controllability. As tires are the only link between the road surface and the vehicle, they must be responsive to the driver’s commands. The better control over the tires ensures a safer performance throughout the tire’s lifetime.
The Potenza S-04 Pole Position guarantees remarkable steering responsiveness and driving stability during its high speed performance. The model combines its tread design with the reinforced sidewall structure to ensure a safer drive. The asymmetric tread design’s outer shoulder block placement increases the road contact, which upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands. The stronger sidewall construction prevents the sidewall and tire shape’s deformation under the high speed driving pressure, which stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The better control allows the driver to confidently steer the vehicle during its high speed performance.
The tread pattern also manages to boost the high speed cornering and braking abilities. The optimized outer shoulder tread block sequence upgrades the cornering and maneuvering capability. They increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which improves the tire’s grip during its cornering. The tread pattern’s notch placement and angled siping detail, along with the optimized tread stiffness of the continuous ribs, enhances the braking ability. These tread elements create friction between the tire and the road surface, which significantly shortens the model’s braking distance by correcting its braking power.
The Potenza S-04 Pole Position guarantees an exceptional high speed performance. Its tread pattern design and optimal sidewall stiffness prevent the deformation of the tire shape under the high speed driving pressure with even driving pressure distribution. The model’s internal structure features reinforced twin steel belts that further improve the strength of the structure, which prevents the deformation of the ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure. The silica-based summer compound actively prevents heat build-up on the tread area, by keeping the tire cool during the drive. This combination enables the tire to safely perform to its greatest high speed capability.
Comfortable Driving Experience
Road noise and vibrations can ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment. Different manufacturing techniques are used to improve the driving comfort during the tire’s performance.
The Potenza S-04 Pole Position was designed with an optimal groove pattern which helps lower the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. The tread design features the Renoa silencer grooves that lower the road noise generated. These grooves trap the airwaves between the tread elements and prevent them from coming into contact with them. As a result, the road and tread pattern noise are not generated and they do not reach the vehicle’s cabin.
The reinforced internal structure also sports active rubber inserts in the tire’s sidewalls near the tire’s bead. This promotes optimized sidewall stiffness which prevents the deformation of the optimal tire shape. The maintained tire shape closely follows the road surface, absorbing the shock of driving and effectively decreasing the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. In this manner, the tire provides a comfortable driving experience.
