Bridgestone Potenza RE050A - User reviews

Very good tyres on dry surface, holds in turns well, stability at high speeds (over 140 mph), moderate abrasion (mainly driving the highways and asphalt). The tyre behaves similarly on the wet but after riding 41 000 miles, draining decreases significantly. Although the tyre holds well on dry surface and on the corners and it’s stable at high speeds, on the wet surface it’s not as good. the quality of travelling reduces to averag, also much lower speed (about 100 mph) because of the poor stability during the rainfall with a mileage as above.

I ride on them for a week and just a shock! Incredibly stick to the road. Super tyres.

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.

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.
