Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

140 A A

•  140 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  A Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

Bridgestone Run-Flat Tyre

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is a run-flat summer tyre.

Bridgestone run-flat tires let you drive safely for up to 80 kilometres at a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour after a puncture. By utilising cutting-edge run-flat technology, these tyres resist heat build-up during deflation, lower rolling resistance, and are compatible with conventional wheel rims.

With run-flat tyres, you don't have to stop at the roadside to wait for a tow truck or change the tyre on your own. Instead, you can drive to the nearest service station, knowing that your tyre can still operate even with decreased or no air pressure.
