Review summary

AI-generated from verified customer reviews.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT tires receive mixed reviews, with many users praising their performance while others note concerns about durability and ride quality.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT tires offer strong performance characteristics, particularly in handling and grip across various conditions. They are well-suited for sports cars and performance vehicles. However, the short tread life and vulnerability to road damage are significant drawbacks for some users. The run-flat technology, while providing safety benefits, contributes to a firmer ride that not all drivers appreciate.

Positive highlights

Excellent grip in both wet and dry conditions. Responsive handling, especially for performance vehicles. Good traction and stability, particularly in high-performance driving. Smooth and quiet ride for some users. Improved handling over some OEM tires.

Negative highlights

Short tread life, with some reporting wear as early as 25,000 miles. Harsh ride quality, typical of run-flat tires. Expensive compared to non-run-flat options.

Bridgestone's Potenza RE050A RFT combines the excellent traction, ride quality, and performance of the Potenza RE050A with the peace of mind that comes with a run-flat tire. The Potenza RE050A RFT features an innovative groove pattern that cut highway noise to improve ride comfort and evacuate water to resist hydroplaning, a long-wearing tread compound, and a sidewall design that allows a driver to keep going even after total loss of inflation pressure.
