Bridgestone Potenza S001 245/35 R18 92 Y XL, FR, MO

These were replaced like for like and recommended by BMW so I have no reference for comparison, they do the job they are meant to. The run-flat combined with the M Sport setup do give quite a hard ride, potholes!! but this was expected. All in all, so far, I have had no problems with these tyres. Read more Collapse

The tyres in Seat Leon are driven by 200 horsepower in size 225/45/17. I like to squeeze in corners and play with the car and when driving like this, the tyres do a great job - very stiff sides give very precise handling and feeling of the car. Super dry grip, a bit worse on wet, but also positive. On the other hand, tyres are tiring on a daily basis in normal driving because of the stiffness and massiveness of the structure, which translates into very poor damping of unevenness and noise. In a car that is inherently stiff and additionally lowered, such tyres are a nail in the coffin in terms of driving comfort. Conti in the same size and on the same 7.5 "rim look like 205 - for some an advantage, for others, including me a disadvantage. For an everyday car, which should provide a bit of comfort it's propably better to use different model. Read more Collapse

To be honest I have acquired those tyres by accident, before I had Good Year Eagle F1. Both tyres stick on dry asphalt after warming but on the wet roads Bridgestone Potenza S001 has many more advantages. The tyre has a very strong, rigid sides. In turning the tyres hold very well and they’re easy to balance. In cold weather they act any normal tyre but in higher temperature they are way better. As for comfort, it is higher than GY F1. As for noise I do not pay attention to that during driving. The tyres are excellent whether the asphalt is dry or wet. When it comes to abrasion, I ride aggressively especially while taking corners, sometimes a drift happens but the tyre appears to be resistant to it. Overall I would recommend Bridgestone Potenza S001 for those who are looking for good traction and comfort during driving. Read more Collapse

I bought the tyre only a month ago. It was recommended to me by friend who has them. He praised it for strength and running and he was not mistaken. I do not regret that I listened to him. I drove the 3 thousand km, but I can say that it’s a very good tyre, holding to the road, taking the corners without any slip on them, car goes like clockwork. The tyre wear so far is because only 3 thousand. I drove quite aggressively. I really recommend Bridgestone Potenza S001. Someone who likes to ride definitely tougher will not be disappointed. I RECOMMEND! Read more Collapse

I have these tyres in size 225/45 R17, on the Golf GTI 200 KM. I have mixed feelings about them. In dry conditions, driving is generally OK, except for a sharp start when the tyres break and the ESP goes crazy because the car is dancing, and sharp acceleration - ESP has to work hard too. Wet both these phenomena occur 100 times normal, quiet ride is stable, but I no longer have confidence in those tyres. It surprised me a lot because I read that they installed them in series in very strong, sports cars - I can't imagine that. Read more Collapse
