Tyre reviews Bridgestone Potenza RE050 A. Page 5 1570
- Rate
It performs big on dry road, but very slippery on snow/ice. It's a great high performance summer tire, but don't use them in heavy winter.

Tires were replaced after 12,000km, but there was still 3.5mm tread depth. Gave fantastic grip. Wouldn't try another tire for this vehicle.

The tires are not bad, but not the best I've ever used either. The grip on wet roads is better than most, however. Dry performance is nothing to write home about. No snow experience with them. A bit too much road noise is transferred into the vehicle, unfortunately. The wear is too fast for my liking, but I do drive "enthusiastically"!

Very good on both dry and wet surfaces, and very good comfort and noise for a high performance tire.
