Sidewall

Standards that measure treadwear, temperature resistance and traction, example: "640 A A".  The 640 is the treadwear test and it lasted 6.4 times longer than the comparison tire tested against.  The first "A" is the traction rating using straight-line wet traction on test surfaces (see information tables tab) and the second "A" is the temperature rating by testing operation at high speeds without heat-related failure (see information tables tab).

UTQG

Wet Traction is a piece of the UTQG for example if  UTQG is: 500 AA A, the wet traction piece is the second piece, the "AA".

Wet Traction

Measured in 32nds of an inch, this metric shows how much tread life is left on a tire, with the tire's traction & stopping capabilities greatly diminished at 4/32nds and less. Tire manufacturers include "tire wear bars" at 2/32nds to indicate when your tire is worn out.

Inflation Pressure

An identifier of a particular tire line and size combination assigned by the tire manufacturer.

Part Number

Rim Range

The diameter of a tire that is inflated without any load applied.

Run Flat

The Bridgestone Potenza RE050A I RFT tires are generally well-regarded for their performance characteristics, especially in dry conditions. They offer good handling and grip for sports cars and performance vehicles. However, their short tread life and susceptibility to damage from road hazards are significant drawbacks for some users. The run-flat feature is appreciated by some but contributes to a firmer ride. Overall, these tires seem best suited for drivers prioritizing performance over longevity, who are willing to accept more frequent replacements.
