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 295/30R19 100Y XL
They have excellent grip in all conditions and no problems with heavy rain as they deal with standing water excellently.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 295/30R19 100Y XL
I needed new tyres, and these feel great. With these tyres, every drive is smooth and I often lose track of how far I've driven. I definitely find myself driving my car more often now.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 295/30R19 100Y XL
The manufacturer recommends these tyres. My only complaint is that it says it was made in 2017, which means that they are over two years old. This greatly limits the lifespan because the car does not even do 3,000 miles a year.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 295/30R19 100Y XL
The tyres look great, too bad the garage left the old sponges attached to the balancing weights. This would have been very easy on 19 inch deep dish wheels, they really pop. I ended up doing the sponges myself. It's the little things.

These run flats seem to be a bit quieter than the Bridgestone ones I purchased previously.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 295/30R19 100Y XL
A job well done with the tyres. After struggling to find the right pressure previously, I got help from the Tyres.co.uk team. I was happy with the price and the time taken to fit the tyres, I will come back when I need new front tyres.
