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 245/50R18 100W
The tyres have been on the car for around six months and I have appreciated the comfort and stability the tyres have given me, especially during difficult periods when the road was wet. This is the second time I have selected these tyres for the car and I will surely do the same when its time to get new ones.

The ride is obviously bumpy as is customary, but that's just the nature of low profile run-flat tyres.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S001 245/50R18 100W
Great performance with amazing wet grip even on my 135i BMW. It is not a long distance driver, but is definitely a top choice.

I'm happy to report that the performance of the tyres has met my expectations. Because of the mild weather, I have not yet had the opportunity to see how they perform in icy road conditions.
