Excellent tyres! I had a Dunlop SP Sport 9000 before and it was very good but Potenza RE050A is even better. Incredible grip on dry and wet asphalt. Affordable price taking into account the quality of the tyres. They have another advantage (although I think for some people it might be a defect) with a small slip, the tyres do not squeal like most of the other tyres. I drove on many tyres such as Continental, Goodyear, Michelin, Dunlop, but the Bridgestone are the best yet in the market. I also recommend the Bridgestone Turanza ER300 model which virtually equals Potenza RE050A.

I don’t think that I’ll ever buy other tyres - only Potenza! Boh on the dry and on the wet they stick to the road perfectly, I haven’t got any slip on them yet even with the electronics turned off. They are quite rigid which with my hard suspension gives a strong pounding on the holes, but luckily I do not use the car in the city so I’m not worried. The fact that there isn’t much tread on them, but it’s hard for me to assess the attrition because sometimes there goes white smoke from under them and even turn with the handbrake is not rare. In ‘’normal’’ usage, they should not consume more than anything else.

Best tyres on which I rode (formerly Conti Sport Contact 2, Michelin Pilot Sport) and Bridgestone are SUPER! It is worth to pay for these tyres - they are relatively quiet, b good handling on wet and dry - ESP and traction control are activated as a last resort

At the beginning I had some mixed feeling. I had the impression that the tyre is a little too hard but it's all about Rubber amazing. Currently, almost running off to zero and further can normally ride in the wet. Of course, you need to be careful but I am full of admiration for those tyres. Huge + for the handling and cornering on wet roads.
