The value for money that Tyres offer is really great.

Great traction, better fuel economy, and much quieter while driving. Right now, I've got Toyo's on the back which are way louder. I'd be glad to switch them out for Conti PC6's…

I'm happy with these tyres, the handling is amazing and driving is way more enjoyable. They were a good choice for my car.

4/5

Bridgestone Potenza RE050

Good tyres overall with great grip, but they are a bit noisier than I expected on certain roads.

5/5

Bridgestone Potenza RE050

I have confidence in their performance, as I have had in the past. I trust them for safety.

4/5

Bridgestone Potenza RE050

These tyres still feel fresh after 6 months. Will likely get another set when needed!

5/5

Bridgestone Potenza RE050

Overall great experience. It's especially transformed my driving experience in terms of rain. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for new tyres.

4/5

Bridgestone Potenza RE050

I am very happy with these long lasting tyres.

5/5

Bridgestone Potenza RE050

All we had to do was fix the tyres, and Bridgestone employees did it efficiently and in a very short period of time, while the tyres felt safe. They also delivered the tyres as promised. Overall, very good experience with Bridgestone.

225/50 R16 is a performance size used on BMW Z3s. 225 means the tyre is 225mm wide. The 50 is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width. This means the sidewall height is 112.5mm. R16 means a tyre that is radial and has a rim diameter of 16 inches. That means the overall size is 631mm. Tyres.co.uk has 225/50 R16s in XL and C versions.
