Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/45 R17 94Y

The Potenza S001 tyre, designed for fans of an aggressive driving style with an abundance of sharp accelerations and braking, has been produced by the Japanese company Bridgestone for several years in a row. During production, the model managed to win a lot of sympathy from the public due to its qualities.

Full control

In terms of driving characteristics, the tyre demonstrates complete control over the behavior of the car in most road conditions and stable cornering stability, which is achieved due to the powerful shoulder area. The inner part of the asymmetric tread pattern is responsible for providing a high level of safety on wet pavement. In tandem with it, a trinity of deep hydro-evacuation channels work, which increase the tyre's resistance to hydroplaning.

Nuances of operation

At the expense of responsive behavior, the comfort level of the tyre had to be sacrificed, which is why when moving over bumps, flaws in the road are felt. Before traveling in an active style, it is advisable to warm up the rubber, and at the first frost it is better to change it to winter in advance — the tyre itself is tough, and at low positive temperatures it becomes even more “oak”. In addition to the category of shortcomings of the model sometimes include increased noise. However, for a model with a sporty disposition, both of the above features are taken for granted.

Confidence on the road

The increased content of silicon in the composition of Bridgestone Potenza S001 affected the improvement of the traction and braking properties of the tyre and an increase in its service life. In turn, the lightweight construction of the breaker in symbiosis with reduced rolling resistance results in fuel savings. The tyre is almost guaranteed to hit the hearts of lovers of fast driving and powerful cars, and it won’t get lost on the wheels of any passenger car at all, providing car owners with confidence when driving on wet and dry roads.
