2016 MX5 with Bridgestone Potenza S001 The Bridgestone Potenza S001 are a very good all round tyre. They grip well in the dry and wet. Hign speed cornering in the MX5 with these tyres is a hoot. I have been very happy with their performance and will most likely replace them at 40K's with ...

Bridgestone Potenza S001 Bridgestone Potenza S001 205/45/R17 - are a perfect match for the MX5. I run that tyres at 250 PSI (Factory says 200PSI) and the car is glued to the road. About 50% very even wear at 20,000Kms. For the tyre performance/wear-rate/cost - I don't think ...

A detriment to my new GTI New VW GTI Mk7 came fitted with these in 2014. It wasn t until they wore out prematurely after 38000km of conservative driving and were replaced with Michelin PS4 s that I realised the qualities of the car. The 001 s were hard riding, nosier and had ... Similar opinion? Write a review!

good grip, low mileage I got these as a replacement for the RE050 s but got nowhere near the same mileage. Got approx 50000kms with OEM RE050 s whereas only got 27000kms with the S001 s. The grip was comparable and got these relatively cheap @ approx $290 a corner but won ... Similar opinion? Write a review!

Better for true performance cars The previous review is a bit off the mark as far as I see it. I have S001 s on my Renault RS265, and am happy to say the grip levels are just as good as the original Michelin Pilot sports. Tread wear on the front for this vehicle will always wear har ...

Expensive. Very very poor mileage I replaced the OEM Bridgestone Potenza RE040 225/45 R17 on my Honda Accord Euro with four of the Bridgestone S001. The RE040 has a UTQG of 140 A A, whereas the S001 has a UTQG of 280 A A, so there is an expectation of equal or better tread life. Howe ... Similar opinion? Write a review!
