    Original equipment on many high-performance vehicles, the Potenza RE050 is built for the pleasure of driving. This tire comes loaded with race-proven technology: UNI-T for outstanding wet and dry traction, a tread pattern that promotes rapid water evacuation, variable dimensions in the tread blocks, and the smoother shape to reduce road noise. An asymmetrical pattern in the RE050A tread increases surface contact to enhance acceleration and cornering. Put this Potenza through its paces and discover what ultra-high performance really means.

  • Mazdaspeed3 - 215/45R18 - These tires are OEM on the Mazdaspeed3. My driving style is moderate. I enjoy flooring it in 2nd and 3rd gear, but most of the time it's regular driving in traffic. The Potenzas were great at first (handling and dry grip) but after 13000km, the grip started to fade away. With 280ft-lb torque on the front wheels, spinning on 2nd and 3rd gear takes some on the fun away. After less than 25000km on them, they were dangerous on wet pavement and puddles. The thread wear sucks, but that's the price to pay for sticky tires I suppose. Unfortunately, I'm not ready to pay 1500$ every two years for tires that I use at 70% of their capacity.
