Product description & features
Original equipment on many high-performance vehicles, the Potenza RE050 is built with the pleasure of driving in mind.
This tyre comes loaded with race-proven technology: UNI-T for outstanding wet and dry traction. With circumferential and lateral tread grooves, the tyre swiftly removes water from under the tyre's contact patch and helps minimise the risk of hydroplaning.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
