Product description & features

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is a max-performance summer tyre aimed for quick steering response on the motorway and A-roads. It uses larger angled blocks on the outer tread to retain shape for load while cornering. The inner tread uses Bridgestone’s NanoPro-Tech compound which helps reduce build up heat. There is a continuous centre rib which supports braking and enhances the response of the steering.

Some models are marked with the BMW star mark and Mercedes MOE marking on the sidewall. This shows they were made for those specific manufacturers and complying with either marking keeps the original tyre specification for the vehicle. The run-flat models have sidewalls reinforced to support the vehicles after the tyres have lost all air pressure. Tyres.co.uk stock the Bridgestone Potenza S001 including run-flat models.

Highlights

  • Outer tread blocks for cornering
  • NanoPro-Tech compound reduces heat
  • Continuous centre rib for braking
  • Run-flat models with reinforced sidewalls

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/45R18 95W XL
I am pretty satisfied with the current performance of the tyres. As run flats, they're comfortable. Hopefully, I won't ever need them for an emergency.

Compared to the Dunlops that were replaced, this ride is extremely solid and quite a bit louder.

I have not yet tested them in wintery conditions, so I do not know how they will fare, but currently, they are doing great.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/45R18 95W XL
They did an excellent job and were purchased only to replace the worn-out back tyres on my vehicle. I have sold the vehicle, so I cannot express my opinion on how they cope in adverse weather conditions lately.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/45R18 95W XL
I don't consider myself an aggressive driver and I've never tried to push my tyres to the limit. I also have never had a problem with any tyres that I have purchased. My only issue with these tyres is the cost.
