About This Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A 245/35R20 is a max performance summer tire, designed for sports car, sports coupe, and sport sedan drivers who prioritize responsive handling and high-speed stability in warm weather driving. Its asymmetric tread design and high-grip compound focus on delivering precise dry road control and effective water evacuation for wet weather traction.

The tire features a continuous center rib for steering response, large tread blocks for dry grip, and stable shoulder elements that maintain contact during cornering. Circumferential and lateral grooves channel water away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk. Driver feedback indicates strong dry road performance with good wet weather capability, though comfort and treadwear reflect the performance-focused nature of the compound.

Compared to touring tires, it emphasizes maximum grip and handling precision over long-term wear and ride comfort. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicles used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in temperatures above freezing.
