Why buy from Champtires?

Description

The Potenza RE050A RFT (Run-Flat Tire) is Bridgestone’s Max Performance Summer run-flat tire developed exclusively for specific BMW, Ferrari, Mazda and MINI vehicles. The Potenza RE050A RFT is designed to provide temporary extended mobility for a distance of 50 miles at up to 50 mph even after a puncture has allowed complete air pressure loss. The Potenza RE050A RFT 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 RE050A RFT features a high-grip tread compound molded into an asymmetric tread design. Stable outboard shoulder elements, intermediate tread blocks and a continuous center rib provide responsive handling, high-speed stability and traction on dry roads, while circumferential and lateral tread grooves pump water out from under the tire's footprint to minimize hydroplaning and aid wet traction. A continuous rib adjacent to the inboard shoulder promotes even wear and resists inside wear generated by suspensions that specify negative camber alignment settings. 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 structure of the Potenza RE050A RFT also features Bridgestone Side Support Run-Flat technology reinforced sidewalls to support the vehicle after a puncture causes a loss of air pressure. Install Bridgestone Potenza RE050A RFT tires in sets of four only. Due to the traction and handling capabilities of the Potenza RE050A RFT, Bridgestone recommends Potenza RE050A RFT tires be used in sets of four to provide the best handling characteristics and tire performance. Potenza RE050A RFT tires may NOT be mixed with other tire models, such as the Potenza RE050A I RFT or Potenza RE050A II RFT.

  

Why Buy Used Tires?

Suffice to say, tire purchases are typically not an integral part of the ordinary citizens’ budget. Most budget-minded consumers are shocked when they find out how much brand new tires cost – usually at the worst possible time. Quite simply, this is why we feel we have the happiest customers on the planet. We provide you with what you need, at an affordable price, with an easy-to-use website. Perhaps the next obvious question is why would you buy new tires?

Based on what our customers tell us, here are a few other reasons to go used:
• The obvious cash savings (once you go used, you’ll never go new again!)
• Lease turn-ins
• Selling your car
• State Inspection
• Spare tire needs
• You only need one tire – potholes, poor driving (we know - it wasn’t your fault!), the dreaded knife-job

Tread Rating

Brand new tires typically have 10/32 tread measured by 32nds of an inch. Thus, if a typical passenger tire has 5/32 - 6/32 of tread remaining, it has around 50 - 60% life left. States with tire inspection typically require at least 3/32 of tread to pass inspection.
