Original equipment on many high-performance vehicles, the Potenza RE050A RFT is built for the pleasure of driving. This tire comes loaded with race-proven technology: a tread pattern that promotes rapid water evacuation, variable dimensions in the tread blocks, and a smoother shape to reduce road noise. An asymmetrical tread pattern in the RE050A RFT tread increases surface contact to enhance acceleration and cornering. Run-Flat technology allows the Potenza RE050A RFT to continue to operate safely at a speed of up to 50 mph for a distance of up to 50 miles under normal driving conditions with zero inflation pressure. Put this Potenza through its paces and discover what ultra-high performance really means.
– Spiral Wrap – Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability.
– Summer Tread Design – Offers tenacious grip and superior handling on wet or dry roads for driving enthusiasts.
– CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System) – Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
– O-Bead – Improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction
– L.L. Carbon (Long Link) – Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure
– Reinforced Sidewall – Support the weight of the vehicle and passenger even with a loss of air pressure with thicker sidewall, generally designed for RFT tires, made of special heat-resistant rubber
