Bridgestone Potenza RE050
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Summer weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High speed durability
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Bridgestone Potenza RE050 is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire promotes excellent summer weather traction. The directional tread design with the lateral groove pattern and the summer weather LL Carbon compound work together to ensure the dry and wet weather grip on the road surface. The compound avoids heat build-up during the drive and makes the tire pliable under the summer heat. The tread's optimal elements improve the grip by offering additional biting edges to enhance the road gripping capability. The wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from below the tire's footprint and maintain the tire's optimal road contact to ensure a safer performing ability.
The model's tread design and internal structure upgrade its high speed controllability. The tread design keeps the tire's close road contact, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering is faster and more precise in its responsiveness, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The reinforced construction maintains the ideal tire shape under the high speed driving pressure. The spirally wrapped nylon on top of the steel belts and the O-Bead structure's single strand bead filler prevent the deformation of the tire's shape during the model's high speed performance. The Computer Optimized Component System, or CS-CS, technology optimizes the tire's tread compound, casing shape, tread pattern and internal construction to enable the model's safer high speed performing capability and power. This allows the tire to safely perform at its greatest high speed capability.
The tread design and the stronger tire compound increase the tread life length. The special LL Carbon compound evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area, with the molecular chain that the rubber elements create. This avoids irregular wear along the tread area, increasing the tire's usability. The compound also manages to resist tread damage, such as tearing, cracking and chipping, by reinforcing the rubber with a long length carbon molecular structure. This also allows the tire to significantly slows the tread wear rate down. The combination of these enhancements extends the tire's tread life and usability significantly.
The Potenza RE050 was manufactured with a sidewall design that guards the rims. This prevents accidental curb damage from harming the tire's casing during the tire's performance.
