About the Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position-RFT

Performance Without Compromise, Even After a Puncture

Best forPerformance-oriented passenger car drivers seeking summer grip and run-flat safety on 19-inch wheel fitments.

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A Pole Position RFT is a summer ultra-high-performance tire built for drivers who push their vehicles to the limit. Designed for passenger cars on 19-inch fitments, it pairs aggressive dry and wet grip with run-flat capability, giving performance-focused drivers both confidence on the road and a safety net when the unexpected happens.

An asymmetrical tread pattern works alongside a silica-enriched compound to deliver strong grip across both dry and wet surfaces. The reinforced sidewall structure is engineered to hold its shape under stress, maintaining handling integrity over time. Should a puncture or sudden pressure loss occur, the run-flat construction allows continued travel up to 50 miles at speeds not exceeding 50 mph.

Questions about this tire

What happens if I get a flat tire with the RE050A Pole Position RFT?

The run-flat sidewall is designed to support the vehicle's weight even after a complete loss of air pressure. This allows you to drive up to 50 miles at speeds under 50 mph to reach a service location safely. The tire should be inspected or replaced after any such event — it is not intended for extended use in a deflated state.

Is this tire suitable for winter or cold-weather driving?

No. The RE050A Pole Position RFT is a summer tire, meaning its compound is formulated to perform in warm temperatures and is not designed for snow, ice, or sustained cold conditions. For winter driving, a dedicated winter tire is the appropriate choice.

Do I need a TPMS sensor if I'm running run-flat tires?

Yes. Because run-flat tires can continue operating after pressure loss, you may not feel the difference the way you would with a conventional tire. A functioning tire pressure monitoring system is strongly recommended — and required on most modern vehicles — to alert you when pressure drops so you can respond appropriately.

Does this tire come with a mileage warranty?

Warranty coverage is set by the manufacturer and can vary by size and application. We recommend checking with us directly or consulting Bridgestone's current warranty terms for the specific size you're purchasing.

What kind of vehicles is the RE050A Pole Position RFT designed for?

This tire is engineered for performance-oriented passenger cars, particularly those fitted with 19-inch wheels. It suits drivers who prioritize responsive handling and high-speed capability while also valuing the added security of run-flat technology.

Buying from TFS Wheels

Shipping, returns & guarantees

Authorized Dealer — 100% Brand New Wheels & Tires

TFS Wheels is an authorized dealer for every brand we carry. Every wheel and tire we ship is brand new, unused, and packaged in its original manufacturer's box. We never sell refurbished, demo, or return-stock product. All manufacturer warranties apply and our warehouse is staffed by people who only handle wheels and tires — no in-transit damage, no test-fits, no surprises.

Free Shipping (Lower 48)

Free shipping on every order — wheels, tires, and accessories — to the contiguous United States. No minimum order, no hidden fees.

Standard delivery is 4–7 business days; expedited is 1–4 business days. Orders placed before 1:00 PM ET typically ship the same day. We do not ship internationally or to PO boxes.

Fitment Guarantee

If a wheel or tire marked "Direct Fit" or "Aftermarket Fit" for your vehicle arrives and does not fit as expected, we cover both the restocking fee and return shipping. The same applies if the bolt pattern does not match — provided your vehicle information was submitted at checkout.

To qualify for the guarantee, enter your year, make, model, and submodel before placing the order.

Manufacturer's Warranty

Every wheel and tire is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Coverage terms vary by brand — most cover structural integrity for the life of the wheel and finish for 1 to 2 years from purchase. If you ever have a warranty question, contact us first; we work directly with the manufacturer on your behalf so you don't have to.

Accessories Included with Your Order

When you submit your vehicle information at checkout, the right lug nuts and (if needed) hub-centric rings are automatically added to your cart in the correct sizes — no guessing, no separate ordering.

TPMS sensors are also available in the cart. We program each sensor to your vehicle's exact year, make, model, and submodel before shipping, so they arrive ready to sync with your truck or car the moment they're installed. This typically saves customers the dealer or installer's programming fees, which often run several dozen dollars per wheel.

Returns

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase on items in new, unused condition. A 25% restocking fee applies to general (change-of-mind) returns, and the buyer covers return shipping.

The restocking fee and return shipping are waived for incorrect items, transit damage, or fitment issues when vehicle information was provided at checkout. Single wheels, single tires, mounted items, special orders, and accessories (lug nuts, locks, hub-centric rings, TPMS sensors, installation kits) are final sale.
