Bridgestone Potenza RE050A - User reviews

I don’t think that I’ll ever buy other tyres - only Potenza! Boh on the dry and on the wet they stick to the road perfectly, I haven’t got any slip on them yet even with the electronics turned off. They are quite rigid which with my hard suspension gives a strong pounding on the holes, but luckily I do not use the car in the city so I’m not worried. The fact that there isn’t much tread on them, but it’s hard for me to assess the attrition because sometimes there goes white smoke from under them and even turn with the handbrake is not rare. In ‘’normal’’ usage, they should not consume more than anything else.

I was happy with the tyres, they have never disappointed me even on a wet road with leaves including, held great. But when I changed it to winter tyres, I noticed that after 9300 miles half the tread of the front tyres ‘’disappeared’’, and I mostly ride long-distances on the highways, so it’s strange and shocking, perhaps the fact that they were produced in Poland? Previous Michelin pilot primacy stood nearly 40400 miles, so I’m disappointed with these Bridgestones.

Tyres perfectly matched to the hardness of our uneven surfaces. Brilliant holding in bends. Quiet, tactile reactions, excellent in the wet (although it did not look). No compromises, so two seasons and then carefully. But worth it. Since poverty can get them entertain you even on the track.

Very good tyres on dry asphalt but also good for wet weather. Do not worry, you can travel at high speeds on our bypasses and pseudo - highways in all conditions the spring - summer. As for the disadvantages of a quick (about 15 k miles) wyząbkowanie and become very loud, even after translating back - forward and backward - forward at 10k km.

what's a lot of talk crazy .. ideal tyre for someone who loves corners and late braking .. tyres allow for very aggressive driving, very well hold the car on the road, and of the silence during the rolling, definitely a future purchase will be Bridgestone!

Tyre revelation, holds the road like it was glued. I think the best tyre I've had so far on the car. Wet highway driving above 200 km / h is not a problem for her. I recommend a tyre with a clear conscience.

Awesome! Already ridden many tyre sizes from 15 "to 19", from 195 mm to 235 mm, and this time I managed to perfectly combine comfort with traction, maybe except in reverse, the rear axle 245/45R17 could move up. RE050A are fantastic, I ride them great.

Best tyres on which I rode (formerly Conti Sport Contact 2, Michelin Pilot Sport) and Bridgestone are SUPER! It is worth to pay for these tyres - they are relatively quiet, b good handling on wet and dry - ESP and traction control are activated as a last resort

After 4 mcach buying tires had a bulge. Apparently the fault of the Polish roads, but what kind of tire which falls after all this time? When the day is covering perhaps 25 km :)
