Product description
Bridgestone’s Potenza RE050A is a high performance summer tyre produced for the drivers of sports cars, sports coupes and sport saloons and is fitted as standard on the supercharged
Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG and was developed to provide good traction along with responsive and predictable dry and wet road handling.
The tread design of the Potenza RE050 features a high-grip compound moulded into a directional tread pattern with continuous center rib, large tread blocks and stable shoulder elements that provide
responsive handling, high-speed stability and traction on dry roads. Circumferential and lateral tread grooves are placed to expel water out from under the tyre's footprint to reduce the risk of
aquaplaning and improve wet traction. The internal construction of the tyre includes twin steel belts reinforced by spiral-wrapped nylon to stabilise the tread area and enhance handling, high speed
capability and ride quality and the fabric cord body and hard rubber sidewall filler helps blend uniform ride quality with steering response and lateral stability.
The Potenza RE050 is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
