Tyres excel sensational, they are very quiet and well-holding in corners. Significantly increased comfort. I would definitely recommend.

The ultimate tyre for the rain that have ever been using. Great rigidity, excellent behavior in corners. It doesn’t slip and squeak. At temperatures below 25 degrees, you need to warm up a bit before it will start to be fully glued to the asphalt. It affects the increase in fuel consumption (0.5-1 l / 60 miles), worsens the max speed and acceleration but the security rate is much higher. My car (155PS) objectively speaking, is too weak for that tyre, but the really important disadvantage is that they are very loud.

Driven about 8 thousand km. I see wear. The tyre is very quiet no plague of teething and met eg Dunlop SportMaxx where the tyre was unbearably loud. Bridgestone is a high quality. Tyres endure a lot. 190HP is not enough that the tyres be surrendered. I am very pleased. Excellent handling + comfort.

I already have a second set of Bridgestone RE050A and I'm happy so far. Excellent on dry, good grip oon fast corners and great traction. Aquapalning is almost impossible, you have to try really hard to lose the grip- really good. The only drawback is a grip on wet in really cold days but it's not dangerous, all in all it's good.Due to the hard rubber you can hear them and feel the road inequalities. When it comes to durability I give them 5 stars, because I have done about 25 000 miles, as a HP tyres it is a good score. They are good for people who drives mainly on sharp corners and likes speeding. I like it- that is why I'm satisfied. Bridgestone Potenza RE050A- for me one of the best.

I drove on the tyres fitted as standard to my car 53 000 miles (3 summer seasons in the winter there was a change for Blizzaki). I am very happy with these tyres. I have a car with a sport suspension, I admit that it is hard, but this tyre is a sport tyre. Driving in F1 as well on dry and wet roads. After 31 000 miles on a wet - not so fast but still stable. The car has over 250 hp, I drove on these tyres France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and our English holes. Safe tyre even at speeds of 125 - 155 mph. The only minus - the volume increases with consumption.

Awesome! Already ridden many tyre sizes from 15 "to 19", from 195 mm to 235 mm, and this time I managed to perfectly combine comfort with traction, maybe except in reverse, the rear axle 245/45R17 could move up. RE050A are fantastic, I ride them great.
