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 inch, 17 inch, 18 inch, 19 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.

Please note: before you select your tyres, ensure that the tyre size that you intend to order are the correct variant and matches your vehicle type.

These tyres are well balanced and firm on the road unlike previous tyres I have bought. They are a low profile and give really good feed back from the steering. Very well engineered but what else would you expect from Bridgestone. I have done 4000 miles so far and the tyres are wearing good. I went for the B wet grip because the harder rubber will do more mileage. They grip well in the dry but in the wet I can get a bit of wheel spin on a faster acceleration. All round very happy with these tyres so much that I purchased a further 2 since and now have these around.

The tyres are very well balanced and do not deform on corners giving a good solid feel unlike my previous tyres. The car drives much better on the road now I have 4 of these on the car. I have only done just over 4000 miles on these tyres and they seem to be waring well. They grip well in the dry and wet. The rim protector is good and the tyres look good on the 19' rims.

The Mondeo likes to eat tyres and after an MOT I needed to replace 3 out of 4 - I replaced all four tyres (Continentals) to Bridgestones - wow I noticed the difference straight away - a smoother drive. it's been a couple of weeks and several hundred miles in sunshine and torrential rain - the Bridgestones are gripping the road really well am really pleased.
