A good fit if you

  • Vehicles set up for run flat tires — compatible suspension and a working TPMS.

245/50R18 Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT – Run-Flat

Category: Summer – Supreme Performance

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT is a max performance summer tire that is designed to be used on high performance sedans, sports cars and coupes. While the Potenza S001 RFT provides dependable good traction on wet and dry roads, it is not meant to be driven in snowy or icy conditions. The Potenza S001 RFT comes as original equipment on the 2012 BMW 3 Series sedans.

Run flat design keeps you moving after a pressure loss — requires a compatible vehicle and a working TPMS.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 100 means each tire can carry up to 800 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating Y is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 300 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 280 A A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
  • Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
  • Run flat tires are reinforced to support the car’s weight after losing pressure, so you can drive a limited distance to get help. They only work on vehicles designed for run flats — compatible suspension and a working TPMS — so they’re not a drop-in replacement on most cars.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
