Tyre reviews Bridgestone Potenza RE050 A. Page 1 1570

Best tire ever!!!

I have a 225/40/18 XL. I'm extremely satisfied with the tire, I can compare, having driven on Michelin Pilot Sport 3, Pirelli P Zero Rosso and Dunlop Sport Maxx TT, after them the handling is like a racing car. The steering is sharper, it's even more pleasant to turn, the driving mode is very aggressive - I've noticed almost no wear after 10,000 km. The only

Excellent tyres with a good grip on wet and dry roads, straight or curved, always feel secure, regardless of the weather conditions (not tested in winter). The tyre's profile looks almost new after more than 20,000 km. Considering the weight of the vehicle (1,900 kg), these tyres are one of the best on the market.

Tires are amazing. Noisy - yes, hard - yes, you can even feel tiny cracks. But that's important! The car's behavior is easy to predict, even on Moscow's potholed roads the car doesn't lose its trajectory, no creaking, and no skids yet. The first tire on

Grip well in any conditions. Braking is stable and fast. Steering is precise. Compared to the Continental SportContact II I used before these Potenza are much better and very quiet. Only driven 8000km so far so I don't have my opinion on the tire's wear over a year. Side walls are quite stiff so the tire isn't very comfortable in terms of suspension. Overall a very good tire indeed!

A really good performance tire. It's really loud, especially on bad roads. It holds the road amazingly, at speeds over 220 km/h you feel a secure grip. Those who like comfort should save their money.

I've driven around 10,000 km on this tire. Size is 205/55 R15 with W speed rating. Tire is excellent, but not for comfort and durability. On a dry road, it holds great at any speed (at least up to 200 km/h) and enters turns seamlessly without any hint of loss of traction. On a wet road, there are no major complaints, and the braking and aquaplaning performance are great (currently, a Toyo J48

Good tires, unkillable. Twice on strong bumps, appeared rim scratches, (rubber is alive). Very noisy, doesn't like road irregularities.

Great tire. Handles very well at high speed. Quiet. Not scary in the rain. 18 on e39 is a bit stiff, 17 I think is just right.

I chose between Pirelli and Vredestein - took the Bridgestone, though noisy, but strong. Until then, it was Adrenaline. The rear tires wore out in two hot summer seasons.

Incredible grip in the dry, but temperature dependent - much better on hot days (20C). Nevertheless, this comes at the expense of very poor durability. My two fronts were treated with respect, but completely worn out at 17,000 miles. Bearing this in mind other premium brands may offer better value.
