245/40R19 Bridgestone Potenza RE050A – Performance Summer

Category: Summer – Supreme Performance

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A is a summer maximum performance tire. It is not meant to be driven in snowy or icy conditions. The Potenza RE050A provides dependable good traction on wet and dry roads and responsive handling. It comes as original equipment on select vehicles. This tire gives the driver a smooth, quiet ride.

XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher inflation pressure and carrying capacity than standard load tires.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load Index 98 is the tire’s standardized carrying capacity, supporting up to 750 kg per tire. Use it to confirm the tire meets or exceeds the load rating listed on your vehicle placard.
  • Speed Rating Y indicates the tire’s maximum sustained speed capability under proper load and inflation. This is approximately 300 km/h under proper load and inflation.
  • UTQG 140 A A is the manufacturer treadwear, traction, and temperature grading system. It is useful for comparing tires from the same brand, but it should not be treated as an exact mileage promise.
  • Summer tires are built for warm weather grip and should not be used as winter tires in Ontario or Quebec cold weather conditions.
  • XL means Extra Load. These tires are designed to carry higher loads at higher inflation pressures than a standard load tire in the same size, which matters for heavier vehicles, loaded vehicles, or factory fitments that require XL.
  • Vehicle Type helps identify whether the tire is intended for passenger, light truck, commercial, or similar service categories.
