Product description & features

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is a high performance tyre used as original equipment on a number of high end vehicles.

To tackle the unique challenges of driving in wet conditions, Bridgestone has designed the Potenza RE050A's tread pattern with an asymmetric tread pattern that effectively removes water from the tyre's contact patch - reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

Inside the carcass of the tyre, Bridgestone has made use of twin steel belts to reinforce the tread area for enhanced performance at top speeds.

Potenza RE050A tyres are available in 15 inch, 16 inch17 inch18 inch19 inch, and 20 inch rim tyre sizes.

Improved Wet Traction

Bridgestone developed Potenza RE050A on the back of their race-proven technology, making use of their UNI-T technology, noted for its reliable wet and dry traction.

Increased Response & Control

The tyre features a continuous central rib throughout the tyre and large tread blocks to deliver accurate handling feedback and stable performance - even at high speeds.
