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 275/30R20 97Y XL
Everything has gone well so far. My Porsche Boxster 987 is driving really well with these tyres. The old Michelin ones I had were really old and had gone hard, which was affecting the driving comfort. The Bridgestone Potenzas are like a new pair of shoes for my car. It is smooth with great grip.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 275/30R20 97Y XL
I don't have prior experience with Bridgestone Potenza run flat tyres, but they seem great so far. The traction in both wet and dry conditions is what I was hoping to get. Satisfied overall.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 275/30R20 97Y XL
I'd expected that. Not driven a lot in the last 34 weeks because I have been stuck at home.
