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.

Improved Wet 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.
