Original equipment on many high-performance vehicles,the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is built for the pleasure of driving. This tire 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.
With its excellent grip on dry surfaces, the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tire is a serviceable tire in bad weather and more than adequate in dry conditions. The tire has an unusual symmetric shape that looks good on any car. With great cornering at any speed, the tire is fantastic for bending and twisting country roads.

Sports handling is the key when it comes to this tire. The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A ensures optimal contact on the outer section of the tire for turns and steering responsiveness in dry environments. The inside of the tire is maximized to provide optimal safety in wetter environments, with the evacuation of water. The low contact of the shoulder blocks means it’s easy to handle. Increase in stiffness increases road contact further. Fuel efficiency is also maximized thanks to improved handling with the tire.
The tire’s tie bar rib and semi slick center rib are both designed to resist tension while reacting the way that a tire should. So the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A tire will respond the way it should to turns and braking. Also making corners more manageable are the shoulder blocks which are large and stabilized. The block and slick combination also increases the traction and braking efficiency of the car when the tires are fitted.
