Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.
Features and Benefits:
The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles.
This tire was designed for high performance. The Computer Optimized Component System, or CS-CS, technology used in the manufacture of this model, optimizes the tire's tread compound, casing shape, tread pattern and internal construction to enable the model's safer high speed performing capability and power. This allows the tire to safely perform at its greatest high speed capability. The model's tread design and internal structure enhance its high speed controllability. The tread design maintains constant road contact. This sharpens the steering responsiveness and driving stability. It enables faster and more precise steering responsiveness, while the structure remains when affected with driving pressure. Its extra strong construction maintains the ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure. The spirally wrapped nylon on top of the steel belts and the O-Bead structure's single strand bead filler prevent the deformation of the tire's shape during the model's high speed performance.
This model was manufactured with a reinforced construction. This strengthened structure upgrades the tire's performance and enables its limited temporary performance after air pressure loss. When air pressure leaves the tire, this construction allows the tire to withstand the weight of the vehicle and its passengers and to be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. This prevents the driver from being stranded on the side of the road. Run flat tires are usually made for vehicles without space for a spare tire and they cannot be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle, due to their heavier construction.
This model performs at its best in summer weather. The dry and wet weather grip on the road surface is ensured by a combination of the directional tread design with the lateral groove pattern and the summer weather LL Carbon compound. The compound avoids heat build-up during the drive and makes the tire pliable under the summer heat. The tread's optimal elements improve the grip by offering additional biting edges to enhance the road gripping capability. Dangerous hydroplaning situations are prevented by the wide circumferential grooves, as they eliminate water and slush from below the tire's footprint and maintain the tire's optimal road contact to ensure a safer performing ability.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT was built to last. The tread design and the stronger tire compound increase the tread life length. The special LL Carbon compound evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area, with the molecular chain that the rubber elements create. This avoids irregular wear along the tread area, increasing the tire's usability. The compound also manages to resist tread damage, such as tearing, cracking and chipping, by reinforcing the rubber with a long length carbon molecular structure. The tire was manufactured with a sidewall design that guards the rims. This prevents accidental curb damage from harming the tire's casing during the tire's performance. This also allows the tire to significantly slows the tread wear rate down. These features enable longer tread life and usability of the tire.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please note this is Original Equipment (O.E.) tire size only. The O.E. size is determined by the year, make, model and options of the vehicle. Original Equipment size data is the best information we currently have available to us. TireMart.com is not responsible for fitment errors. The most important aspect of purchasing a tire is its size, which cannot vary. It is buyer's responsibility to verify the tire size information. It is buyer's responsibility to verify whether a specific tire is suitable for a specific vehicle. However, this tire size may be fitted on other vehicles as well. To ensure that you are purchasing the correct tire size for your vehicle, please check the size of your currently mounted tires (locate on the tire's sidewall). The tire's sidewall also features the speed and load rating, indicating the speed and load capacity of the specific tire. The speed and load index can differ from the tires you currently have mounted on your vehicle up to a degree. Please check your vehicle's Owner's Manual or consult with your mechanic regarding the changes of your tire's speed rating and load index. If you have any questions regarding your tire size , speed rating and load index please contact us prior to purchasing and confirm with certified auto technician of any variance in speed and load index and sizes.
