Potenza RE050 Run Flat Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 Run Flat is a max performance summer tire engineered to deliver an exhilarating driving experience, especially for high-performance vehicles. Its advanced tread design is optimized for rapid water evacuation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning, while the strategically varied tread block dimensions and a refined shape work together to minimize road noise for a quieter ride. Engineered with run-flat capabilities, the Potenza RE050 features a reinforced sidewall construction. This design maintains the tire's shape and structural integrity even in the event of complete pressure loss, preventing it from de-beading. This allows drivers to safely continue their journey for up to 250 kilometers (approximately 155 miles) at speeds up to 80 km/h (50 mph) after a puncture, providing crucial mobility in emergency situations. These run-flat tires are identified by the RSC symbol on their sidewall and require a functional air pressure monitoring system in the vehicle. Key specifications for this tire include a size of 215/40R18, a load rating of 85 (supporting up to 1136 lbs), and a Y speed rating, indicating suitability for high-performance driving. The UTQG rating is 140 A A, and it features a Black Sidewall (BSW). The overall diameter is 24.77 inches, with an overall width of 8.6 inches, designed for an 18-inch rim with a measuring rim width of 7 inches.
