Bridgestone 118431 Potenza RE050A Run Flat Tire 245/35R18 88Y

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Run Flat (RFT) in size 245/35R18 88Y is an ultra-high performance summer tire, original equipment on many high-performance vehicles and built for the pleasure of driving. Its design draws on race-proven technology for sharp handling and responsive grip.

Key Features:

• Run-Flat technology: with zero inflation pressure, the tire can continue to operate at speeds up to 50 mph for a distance of up to 50 miles under normal driving conditions.
• Asymmetrical tread pattern: increases surface contact to enhance acceleration and cornering.
• Water evacuation: the tread pattern promotes rapid water evacuation, and variable dimensions in the tread blocks along with a smoother shape help reduce road noise.
• Summer tread design: offers strong grip and handling on wet or dry roads for driving enthusiasts.
• Spiral Wrap: a continuous nylon wrap encircles the whole tire, helping it hold its original shape to improve high-speed capability.
• CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System): optimizes the combination of tread design, casing shape, materials and construction to maximize performance.
• O-Bead: a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction improves uniformity and ride comfort.
• L.L. Carbon (Long Link): a special long-length carbon structure helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing.
• Reinforced sidewall: a thicker sidewall made of special heat-resistant rubber supports the weight of the vehicle and passengers even with a loss of air pressure.

Size 245/35R18 with an 88Y service description. A strong choice for drivers who want ultra-high performance from a run-flat tire.
