Product description & features

The Bridgestone Potenza S005 is a summer tyre designed to accommodate the exacting high-speed steering and braking requirements of the BMW 8 Series. As such, it is an ultra-high-performance summer tyre developed as original equipment for BMW. Its asymmetric tread design helps deal with dry cornering and wet-road drainage. It features large linked blocks forming a firm shoulder for cornering. The inner side has four longitudinal grooves with water-shedding angled channels.

Any BMW 8 Series tyre with a BMW star marking on the sidewall was built to BMW’s specifications. If the delivered tyre has the star marking, then the purchaser is getting the specified version of the tyre. Other options in the range also include Reinforced XL construction. At Tyres.co.uk, we also sell the Bridgestone Potenza S005 run-flat variants.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread design
  • Firm shoulder with linked blocks
  • Four grooves with angled channels

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S005 315/30R20 101Y
The tyres work well in both dry and wet circumstances, but because of their softer compound, they wear out faster than I would like.

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza S005 315/30R20 101Y
They did the job, that was until I hit a pothole. I suppose these tyres would work well in a country with good roads, but here in the UK they're not much use.

They have a steady and confident presence when it comes to wet surfaces. When driving quickly, there is very little noise coming from the road.
