Too early to tell anything about tread wear, but all other aspects of the tires are excellent. I am very pleased with Simply Tires and the tire Manufacturer. I will also recommend Simply Tires to my friends and relatives.

Have a question about Bridgestone Potenza RE050A

No, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is not a run-flat tire. If you need the run-flat technology in this tire line, you can go for the Potenza RE050A RFT.

Yes, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A performs well in rain due to the wide circumferential grooves and specially shaped block edges with slanted mid grooves that expel water quickly from the surface and avoid hydroplaning.
