Bridgestone Potenza RE050 A I

Summer tire Bridgestone Potenza RE050 A I is designed for dynamic versions of passenger cars, so-called "premium brands". Characterized by the inherent line of tires sports honed handling, stability at high speed, resistance on wet pavement.

Solid longitudinal rib

A characteristic feature of the tread pattern is the presence of a solid longitudinal rib in the central part. A rigid, deformation-resistant element ensures uncompromising stability during straight-line movement, precise handling during maneuvering. In addition, the solid rib in the middle significantly reduces rolling resistance and reduces the risk of uneven wear development.

Optimized drainage grooves

A significant part of the tread pattern is allocated to drainage elements. The longitudinal grooves stand out for their large volume, which serve as a kind of water accumulators, reducing the risk of a continuous water film to a minimum, especially at high speeds. The numerous transverse drainage elements between the blocks have a special shape that increases the speed of water removal, further reducing the risk of aquaplaning.

Rigid blocks on the edges of the tread

The blocks located on the edges of the tread are made in the form of solid, deformation-resistant elements. In combination with large sizes, this gives the tire a sports honed handling, increases stability during maneuvering, and allows for more intense braking.

Key features of Bridgestone Potenza RE050 A I

- voluminous longitudinal drainage elements and a special shape of transverse grooves minimize the risk of a continuous water film forming between the tire and the road surface, even at very high speeds;
- a rigid solid longitudinal rib in the middle increases directional stability and handling accuracy, reduces rolling resistance, and prevents uneven wear;
- deformation-resistant shoulder blocks provide sports handling, high braking intensity on wet pavement.
