Bridgestone 096535 Potenza RE050A Run Flat Tire 205/40R18 82W

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat is an ultra-high performance summer tire designed for driving enthusiasts who demand exceptional handling and safety. Originally specified as original equipment on many high-performance vehicles, this tire delivers race-proven technology for the ultimate driving experience.

Run-Flat Technology: In the event of air pressure loss, reinforced sidewalls constructed from special heat-resistant rubber support the vehicle's weight, allowing you to continue driving safely at speeds up to 50 mph for distances up to 50 miles under normal conditions.

Performance Features:

• Asymmetrical Tread Design: Large tread blocks on the outer shoulder maximize dry performance and cornering grip, while smaller inner tread elements enhance wet traction
• Circumferential and Lateral Grooves: Rapidly evacuate water to reduce hydroplaning risk and improve wet weather traction
• L.L. Carbon (Long Link) Technology: Special long-length carbon structure improves tread life and resists cracking, chipping, and tearing
• Spiral Wrap Construction: Continuous nylon wrap maintains tire shape for improved high-speed capability
• Steel Belt Construction: Adds durability and puncture resistance
• CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System): Optimizes the combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction for maximum performance
• O-Bead Technology: Single continuous strand cable in bead construction improves uniformity and ride comfort

Important Note: This is a summer tire designed for tenacious grip on wet or dry roads in warm weather conditions. It is not intended for use in near-freezing temperatures, ice, or snow.
