Bridgestone Potenza RE050A I RFT Tires

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A I RFT is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles.

The tire was made with Bridgestone's run flat technology. The stronger sidewall structure maintains the ideal tire shape once air pressure leaves the tire, giving it a limited temporary performance. This allows the tire to be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph in case of air pressure loss. As a result, the vehicle will not be stranded on the side of the road, instead it can be driven to a nearby location. Run flat tires should not be mounted on the same vehicle with regular tires.

The L. L. Carbon compound helps to improve the usability. This special compound enhances the pressure distribution with the long molecular chain it creates. As a result, the tire is able to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area, preventing irregular wear formations. On the other hand, the compound is also able to minimize the overall treadwear rate, while also combating tread damage. The slower and even wear and the damage resistance enhance the overall service life.

The optimal tread design with the ideal road contact patch enables the tire to improve the controllability. The better road contact allows the tire to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The enlarged footprint's pressure circulation optimizes the surface contact, which guarantees a quick and precise steering response, while it secures the structural stability. This combination greatly improves the driver's better control over the vehicle. The special O-Bead structure enables the tire to increase the high speed performing ability.

The tire promotes great summer weather performance. The dry and wet weather traction is boosted with the asymmetric tread design and the summer compound. The tread's surface contact enhances the grip in summer weather conditions, while the compound effectively avoids heat build-up across the tread area. The groove pattern prevents hydroplaning in wet weather conditions, by dispersing water from below the footprint.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A I RFT increases the comfort levels as well. The O-bead structure places a single continuous strand of cable in the bead in order to optimize the surface contact. This keeps the ideal tire shape, increasing the high speed durability, while optimizing the overall driving comfort. It enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving, lowering the road vibrations felt during the drive. As a result, the passengers' driving enjoyment is guaranteed.

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.
