Bridgestone Potenza S001
|
The Potenza S001 is a low rolling resistance tire designed to give drivers high speed traction and maximum performance. It is a summer tire intended to be driven in dry and wet conditions but not on snow or ice.
Like many of Bridgestone's tires in this category the Potenza S001 features two lightweight twin steel belts with aramid / nylon cord reinforcement for durability and traction at high speeds. The interlocking tread blocks and central rib increase precision and steering response.
When tested on the track the Potenza S001 performed well when driven aggressively around turns and at high speeds. Traction and steering response were excellent. It did take the tire half a second to catch up when switching directions very quickly, but the tire did not slip. When driven in wet conditions the tire performed great too. Cornering pretty hard at 80 mph and still stuck to the road, despite the rain. Braking with the ABS kicking in on the BMW 3 series stopped very quickly.
Conclusion:
The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is an excellent high performance summer tire that ranges from $250 to $450 per tire depending on size. This is not a great value for this tire, but right around average for this quality in the high performance summer category. |
