The Potenza RE050 is an Ultra High Performance Summer tire designed to complement the performance of sports cars, sports coupes and sport sedans. While the Potenza RE050 is used as Original Equipment on the supercharged Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG sedan, a Potenza RE050 Scuderia version is used on the 12-cylinder Enzo Ferrari supercar. The Potenza RE050 was developed to provide good traction along with responsive and predictable dry and wet road handling. It is not intended to be driven in near-freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.
The Potenza RE050 features a high-grip tread compound molded into a directional tread design. A continuous center rib, large tread blocks and stable shoulder elements provide responsive handling, high-speed stability and traction on dry roads, while circumferential and lateral tread grooves are aimed to pump water out from under the tire's footprint to minimize hydroplaning and aid wet traction. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by spiral-wrapped nylon to stabilize the tread area and enhance handling, high speed capability and ride quality. The fabric cord body and hard rubber sidewall filler helps blend uniform ride quality with steering response and lateral stability.
El neumático Potenza RE050 de Bridgestone pertenece al segmento Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Verano y complementa el rendimiento de autos deportivos, cupé y sedán deportivo. El Potenza RE050 es utilizado como “equipo original” (O.E., por sus siglas en inglés) en el Mercedes-Benz S55 AMG, el Potenza RE050 Scuderia es utilizado por el Enzo Ferrari de 12 cilindros. El Potenza RE050 fue desarrollado para ofrecer tracción conjuntamente con maniobrabilidad sobre superficies secas y mojadas. Sin embargo, no ha sido diseñado para ser utilizado en nieve. Su diseño permite su uso sobre superficies con condiciones mojadas o secas, pero como todo neumático de verano, no fue diseñado para ser utilizado en temperaturas cercanas al nivel de congelación o superficies con hielo o nieve.
El Potenza RE050 posee un compuesto de caucho de gran agarre moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño direccional. Un centro circunferencial continuo, bloques largos y hombros estables proveen una maniobrabilidad con mayor respuesta, estabilidad a velocidades elevadas y tracción en carreteras secas. Canales circunferenciales y ranuras laterales son las encargadas de evacuar el agua y dar más tracción en superficies mojadas, a la vez que, evitar el deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning).
La estructura interna incluye correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral para estabilizar la banda de rodamiento y mejorar la maniobrabilidad, capacidad de rodar a velocidad elevada y la calidad del manejo. Una carcasa de tela y refuerzos en las paredes o flancos ayudan la estabilidad lateral, la respuesta al girar el volante y el confort del andar.
