Tyre really recommendable - perhaps a bit loud but compensating all their behavior on the road. For dry absolute revelation. Wet exemplary. Toy car burns a little more than other tyres but really makes up for the loss of steering precision and reactivity. What to wear is quite some recommend, especially for cars 200HP +. Regards

Hi, I am a user of Renault Laguna GT with rear axle steering. What this car can in curves, corners and on the straights, is really incredible ride. But I have a feeling (and drove many cars on different tyres) that it wasn’t Bridgestone Potenza, in this case 225/45 r18 RE050 it wouldn’t be possible to achieve this. They are excellent and with full responsibility I do recommend. Actually, they have one disadvantage, they consume fairly quickly, but as heavily worn tyre it still retains its properties.

I decided to add my two cents, because the opinions of some Internet users should not be taken into account. 1. It is difficult to assess the values of a tyre in moderate driving – the chinese rubber is enough for that. Bridgestone RE050A work very well, but they are better. 2. Grip on wet roads also depends on the width of a wheel - the larger, the more carefully you should ride - wider sizes (over 225) require skill and caution. 3. Sport tyres are not hard, as some ‘smart guy’ wrote. Achieving a better grip is a price for faster usage. These bore one season driving fast, powerful car, so they are good. It’s a good compromise between hardness and abrasion. Overall, they are very good tyres, although currently I’m looking for something better. But we have different requirements and for calm drivers I do not recommend more expensive tyres - you will feel no difference.

I need to verify my previous negative rating for the tyres, this time for plus. After driving a few thousand miles I can say that this tyre is really good. For dry it is sensational, keeps incredibly as a sport hard tyre. Precision of steering is great. After the change from winter tyres - 225/45/17 Dunlop Sport 3D , now I see the difference in sticking to the road and driving. And what’s interesting, now even high hardness of the tyre does not bother me. Fuel consumption also normal. I recommend!
