Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT Max Performance Summer Run-Flat Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT is a Max Performance Summer run-flat tire engineered for drivers who demand race-inspired handling, exceptional responsiveness, and the confidence of continued mobility after a puncture. Developed exclusively for specific high-performance vehicles, the Potenza RE050A RFT merges outstanding summer performance with the added security of Bridgestone's proven run-flat technology, and is also offered as original equipment on select vehicles.

Advanced Performance Technologies:

• UNI-T Technology: Race-proven design delivers outstanding wet and dry traction through a tread pattern engineered for rapid water evacuation, variable tread block dimensions, and a refined shape that reduces road noise.
• Asymmetric Tread Design: A high-grip tread compound molded into an asymmetric pattern features stable outboard shoulder elements, intermediate tread blocks, and a continuous center rib for responsive handling and high-speed stability. Circumferential and lateral tread grooves minimize hydroplaning and enhance wet traction.
• LL Carbon (Long Link Carbon): Long-chain carbon molecules span the tread to distribute the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering evenly, preventing irregular wear while reinforcing the tread against cracking, chipping, and tearing for extended tread life.
• O-Bead Construction: A single continuous bead cable enhances high-speed capability, absorbs road shock, and promotes precise road-following in both wet and dry conditions for improved ride comfort and steering accuracy.
• Spiral-Wrapped Nylon Belt Package: Twin steel belts reinforced by spiral-wrapped nylon stabilize the tread area to enhance handling, high-speed capability, and ride quality.

Run-Flat Safety Features:

• Bridgestone Side Support Run-Flat Technology: Reinforced sidewalls support the vehicle after a puncture causes a loss of air pressure, providing temporary extended mobility for up to 50 miles at up to 50 mph even after complete air pressure loss.
• Heat-Resistant Sidewall Rubber: Thicker sidewalls constructed from special heat-resistant rubber support the weight of the vehicle and passengers even with total air pressure loss.

Summer Performance & Usage Guidelines:

• Engineered for responsive, predictable handling with good traction on both dry and wet roads.
• Not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, on ice, or in snow. The performance compound is optimized for warm-weather conditions and is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow, or on ice.
• Must be installed in sets of four only. Bridgestone recommends Potenza RE050A RFT tires be used in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance. Do not mix with other tire models, including the Potenza RE050A I RFT or Potenza RE050A II RFT.
• UTQG Rating: 140 A A (Treadwear / Traction / Temperature).

Backed by Bridgestone's warranty coverage, the Potenza RE050A RFT delivers the grip and precision of a dedicated max performance summer tire combined with the safety and peace of mind of proven run-flat technology — making it the confident choice for performance-minded drivers who refuse to compromise.
