Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT Tires
The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire offers excellent summer weather traction. The summer compound and the detailed tread design increase the dry and wet weather grip on the road surface. Stronger compound elements improve the rubber flexibility, while effectively preventing heat build-up along the tread area. The optimized surface contact increases the road gripping ability in summer weather conditions. The tire features circumferential grooves, dispersing water from the footprint in wet weather conditions.
The model also improves the surface contact at all times. This allows the tire to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability, ensuring the driver’s control over the vehicle. In other words, the tire helps to improve the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The model also features rim protecting sidewalls that guard the rims from accidental damage.
The tire features a reinforced structure which enables its run flat performance. After air pressure loss, the tire does not deform. Instead, the tire is able to be driven on for 50 miles up to the speed of 50 mph. As a result, the vehicle is not stranded on the side of the vehicle. Run flat tires should not be mixed with regular tires on one vehicle, due to the difference in the tires’ weight.
High speed durability is also promoted with versatile technologies. The CO-CS technology, the O-bead structure, and the spiral nylon warp reinforcement of the construction work together to improve the high speed capacity. They do not allow the tire to deform under the high speed pressure, while the summer compound avoids heat build-up across the tread area. This combination ensures a safer high speed performing power.
The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 RFT also promotes a longer usability. The L. L. Carbon compound and the ideal tread elements upgrade the service life. The compound elements decrease the treadwear rate with the wear-resistant rubber materials. The tread’s even pressure circulation avoids irregular wear formations as well. This combination manages to upgrade the service and tread life.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
