Bridgestone Potenza S001 - User reviews

Sort:
Popek
3.88
Definitely a better model than the ER300 or Goodyear Eagle. Excellent grip at speeds above 140 km/h. For those who like their foot on the gas. ;)

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.

A sensation for me. Completely noiseless, they even float on the tarmac. Definitely worth the extra money.

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.

Good tyres. I will buy them again. These are the first tyres that will last more than one season.

Slips several times a week at roundabouts or at right angles when the road is wet. The rear side slides away. Ideal for drifting but would have expected more grip for such a price range/brand.

Even if the wheel alignment was perfect, the wear is mainly on the outside edge of the tyre.

Medium-quality HP tyre. It does everything on average, definitely in this size it does the worst on wet surfaces, despite the quattro drive. I recommend it to people buying new tyres who do not want to overpay, but want to get a solid tyre at a decent price.
