The Bridgestone Potenza S001 are a very good all round tyre. They grip well in the dry and wet. Hign speed cornering in the MX5 with these tyres is a hoot. I have been very happy with their performance and will most likely replace them at 40K's with another set of Bridgestone Potenza S001. 40K from a performance tyre is good going. I did a track day on these tyres and they performed well. I could go for a more aggressive semi-slick tyre like the Yokohama Advan AD08R - but this car is my daily drive and I am sure I would be compromising on comfort and road noise with the Yokohama's.

New VW GTI Mk7 came fitted with these in 2014. It wasn t until they wore out prematurely after 38000km of conservative driving and were replaced with Michelin PS4 s that I realised the qualities of the car. The 001 s were hard riding, nosier and had worse fuel economy than the PS4 s. However, grip in wet and dry was comparable. My previous GTI had Dunlop Supersports and Goodyear Eagles that were also superior to the 001. I can t recommend these at all.

Had these tyres since I was recommended them after my service at southport honda. Only had them fitted for about 9 months but my rear pair have since had valve issues and upon fixing them i ve noticed bald spots appearing so not very happy so far but the front have been perfect and haven t lost a mm of tread. I would recommend them for maybe a smaller sedan but I m overall not to happy with them..

I drive 50,000kms per year Taxi Service to elderly parents with serious health issues. Although supposedly poor km I am to expect I need grip and quality. I rotate wheel balance and align every 8000kms so I am a regular at Tempe Tyres who are by far the cheapest in Sydney. I travel 50kms to come here every 6-8 weeks. I am looking forward to these first 2 tyres going on the front and will update wearage and ride comfort details

Honda Civic Sport Gen 8. 215/45 x 17. Replaced OEM Michelin Pilots at 35k as they developed scollops in the tread. S001 fitted and they are the most sure footed tyre I have driven on in the past 40 years, wet or dry, or torential down pour. S001 s have now done 35k. Saw the tyre dealer today to discuss the droning sound coming from the tyres, and he noted that the rubber compound is showing perishing which I have never seen on a Bridgestone. They still have another 5 to 10k wear left. As I can t put up with the noise at 70 to 80 KPH they are going to be replaced next week. So I concur with the other reviews highlighting the great performance of this tyre; the down side being the price $240 and short life span. In short, the S001 is both the Best and Worst tyre I have ever purchased (we have 5 vehicles, so that is quite a few tyres!)

Vehicle 2014 VF SSV Supercharged Front 245/40/19 Rear 275/35/19 If you re expecting to get high millage from your tyres look elsewhere. If you re looking for the best dry and wet weather performance from a true road tyre (not a semi slick) look no further than these tyres. Granted my VF has well in excess of 600 rwhp so no tyre is going to provide long term use with spirited driving but the confidence these tyres inspire is nothing short of brilliant. The front end has far more steering feel and even up to the point of being completely shagged the rear tyres offer unbelievable levels of grip. I ve had plenty of high powered rear drive cars in the past and used the best tyre from all of the high end manufacturers and I ve yet to find one that offers such a complete range of feedback, grip and braking performance I ve experienced with the S001 s. I ve been through 4 sets of rears to 1 set of front tyres with the rears lasting on average 7,500km s. Whilst people may find this unacceptable what has to be remembered is that these are soft, sticky UHP tyres that will wear quickly in order to provide the ultimate in performance. At 500 bucks a pop they re not cheap but they are better priced than other tyres in this category which makes them great value. The S001 s have an ultra stiff side wall and will slightly reduce ride quality but this is of little relevance in comparison to the ultimate overall performance of the tyre. On the track the S001 s are only half a second slower per lap than the RS3 semi slicks I use on the same car.

The previous review is a bit off the mark as far as I see it. I have S001 s on my Renault RS265, and am happy to say the grip levels are just as good as the original Michelin Pilot sports. Tread wear on the front for this vehicle will always wear harded, but the pilot sport wear down quicker. Brought these from a Bridgestone direct store under 250 per corner (235/40R40). I am not chasing high mileage, I would recommend these if the vehicle drives less than 10000kms a year. Not really suited for a Honda Accord Euro, best for performance turbo 4 s. Next time I will probably go with either Bridgestone s RE002 or similar.

I replaced the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45 R17 on my Honda Accord Euro with four of the Bridgestone S001. The RE040 has a UTQG of 140 A A, whereas the S001 has a UTQG of 280 A A, so there is an expectation of equal or better tread life. However, the S001 only lasted 2 years/30000km whereas the RE040 lasted 5 years/66000km, both under similar laid-back driving style. The poor mileage is the single most disappointing characteristic of this tyre, so I would not recommend the S001 on this basis. There are other tyres which has comparable performance for similar price and still provide reasonably good mileage. Aside from the poor mileage, the tyre performed as expected, subjectively offering confident braking and handling. Noise level is about par with RE040.

P ZERO grip better and don t brake traction at all mid revs. P ZERO give more grip at take off. P ZERO corner better with greater G s. I would expect these to last longer as not very grippy but as always letting go mightwear out prematurely indeed. RUN FLATS P ZERO BEST I have not tried Michelin as not inflated.

Better for true performance cars

The previous review is a bit off the mark as far as I see it. I have S001 s on my Renault RS265, and am happy to say the grip levels are just as good as the original Michelin Pilot sports. Tread wear on the front for this vehicle will always wear harded, but the pilot sport wear down quicker. Brought these from a Bridgestone direct store under 250 per corner (235/40R40). I am not chasing high mileage, I would recommend these if the vehicle drives less than 10000kms a year. Not really suited for a Honda Accord Euro, best for performance turbo 4 s. Next time I will probably go with either Bridgestone s RE002 or similar.

Expensive. Very very poor mileage
I replaced the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45 R17 on my Honda Accord Euro with four of the Bridgestone S001. The RE040 has a UTQG of 140 A A, whereas the S001 has a UTQG of 280 A A, so there is an expectation of equal or better tread life. Howe ...
I replaced the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45 R17 on my Honda Accord Euro with four of the Bridgestone S001. The RE040 has a UTQG of 140 A A, whereas the S001 has a UTQG of 280 A A, so there is an expectation of equal or better tread life. However, the S001 only lasted 2 years/30000km whereas the RE040 lasted 5 years/66000km, both under similar laid-back driving style. The poor mileage is the single most disappointing characteristic of this tyre, so I would not recommend the S001 on this basis. There are other tyres which has comparable performance for similar price and still provide reasonably good mileage. Aside from the poor mileage, the tyre performed as expected, subjectively offering confident braking and handling. Noise level is about par with RE040.

S001 are Slippery Tyres
I purchased four tyres 225/35R20 & 255/30R20 to replace the identical same tyres that were Pirelli P Zero. S001 look better YES very much in fact with sqaure sidewalls. P ZERO grip better and don t brake traction at all mid revs. P ZERO give m ...
I purchased four tyres 225/35R20 & 255/30R20 to replace the identical same tyres that were Pirelli P Zero. S001 look better YES very much in fact with sqaure sidewalls. P ZERO grip better and don t brake traction at all mid revs. P ZERO give more grip at take off. P ZERO corner better with greater G s. I would expect these to last longer as not very grippy but as always letting go mightwear out prematurely indeed. RUN FLATS P ZERO BEST I have not tried Michelin as not inflated.

With no changes to driving style nor routes. I must fork out more $$ for Fronts! Lexus ISF 15 months ago Fronts bold too. Rep also advised the huge 90% drop in quality with manufacturing and low grade rubber. Completely ripped off I‰Ûªll stay away.

Nice touring tyre
Had these on for 30,000KMs and they will soon need replacing. Overall I ve found them to be excellent for Road noise (compared to RE050A and Turanza T001) and what I mainly look for in a tyre - excellent in the wet. Grip is sufficient for a family ...
Had these on for 30,000KMs and they will soon need replacing. Overall I ve found them to be excellent for Road noise (compared to RE050A and Turanza T001) and what I mainly look for in a tyre - excellent in the wet. Grip is sufficient for a family car, been happy enough to purchase my second set. Alternatively would try Continental s if the price was right.
