Tyre information and features:
- Enhanced balance for wet or dry handling
- Excellent tyre wear while enhancing wet performance
- Improved high speed capability
Original equipment on many high-performance vehicles, the Potenza RE050 is built for the pleasure of driving. This tyre comes loaded with race-proven technology: UNI-T for outstanding wet and dry traction, a tread pattern that promotes rapid water evacuation, variable dimensions in the tread blocks, and the smoother shape to reduce road noise. An asymmetrical pattern in the RE050A tread increases surface contact to enhance acceleration and cornering. Put this Potenza through its paces and discover what ultra-high performance really means.
Also available with Bridgestone's advanced Run Flat Technology
Two of the areas Run Flat Technology focuses on are rigidity and heat resistance, so that the tyre can support weight when it is rotating with total air loss. Bridgestone's new Potenza RE050 RFT meets this challenge with a combination of design, materials and construction changes that optimise the location, shape and physical property of each tyre component:
- The sidewall is constructed with reinforced rubber, carrying the vehicle's weight at zero-pressure;
- While the bead shape configuration itself is unchanged, so that the Bridgestone RFT tyre is compatible with conventional rims, the bead wire is wider and reinforced, ensuring a secure fit on the rim even at zero pressure, and a special bead filler with low heat generation is used.
