Product description & features

The asymmetric Bridgestone Potenza RE050A features a separate wet and dry road design. The dry-road design relies on large cornering blocks and a dry-road edge band. The inner edge dry-road design has a water-clearing groove that runs the length of the tyre and removes water to clear pathways. Silica-enhanced rubber with a strong casing and reinforced design respond to the direct and precise steering expectations made with this Potenza.

RFT models feature self-supporting sidewalls which allow the tyre to limp after losing air pressure for the 'stay slow and limp' distance specified in the vehicle owner's manual. Some OE tyres have a sidewall BMW star or Mercedes-Benz MOE marking which indicates that the tyre was made to those vehicle makers' specifications. The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A and the RFT models are available at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric wet and dry tread
  • Large dry-road cornering blocks
  • Self-supporting run-flat sidewalls

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 235/45R18 94Y
Just as I suspected, no issues arose. The grip is great and from the amount I drive, the brand seems to manage wear-and-tear well.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 235/45R18 94Y
It is good to hear that Tyre is fine. It is a shame they did not notice the cracked wheel before they put on the new tyre.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 235/45R18 94Y
No issues here. The grip and responsiveness at the back of the car has returned. They're run flat tyres so the ride is a bit firmer but I've got used to it. Overall, very good tyres.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 235/45R18 94Y
The tyres are good, even though, it's a secondary car and doesn't get driven a lot.
