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 245/45R17 95Y
When I bought my car from the dealership, I received these tyres as well. It says a lot that BMW must have done the research to find the best tyres for grip, noise reduction, and overall performance.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S001 245/45R17 95Y
The tyres perform well because I consider the factors of fuel economy, grip in the wet, noise, and price, and I feel I have the best compromise to suit my needs. The tyres cope with every weather condition, and I feel confident braking and cornering at speed and the ride is quiet and comfortable. I don't do a lot of miles, so it's difficult to assess the wear, but the tyres seem to be doing well despite the poor road surfaces.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S001 245/45R17 95Y
These have performed just as well as the factory-fitted Bridgestones in both wet and dry conditions and may be ever so slightly better. BMW 3 Series Touring X Drive. They also have plenty of tread remaining.
