Tyres fitted on my Seat Leon. I like to drive aggressively and have some fun with speeding. Bridgestone Potenza S001 can handle even the most difficult maneuvers and lets the driver to 'feel' the vehicle which is crucial when it comes to something more than normal everyday driving. Wet and dry grip is excellent. Fuel consumption is on a good level as well. I have seen some opinions that they are noisy but I can not agree personally. It is my first Bridgestone set. I used to have differend tyre brands even from premium class but I have to say that this model is the best for me so far. I can recommend these tyres for everyone without any doubt. If you are a calm driver you will be happy with them and also if you like to drive faster you will be satisfied as well.

Good tyres. The only tyres of this profile with a protective rim. When I buy my next tyres, there is a good chance that I will buy them again. These are the first tyres that will last me more than one season.

I have these tyres in size 225/45 R17, the Golf GTI 200 hp. I have mixed feelings about them. On a dry turn is usually OK, except for a sudden start, when you break and ESP, crazy because car dances, and a strong acceleration - the ESP needs to work hard. On wet these two phenomena behive 100 times normal, silent ride is stable, but I have no confidence on these tyres. I am very surprised because I read that I installed them in a very strong series, a sports car - I can not really imagine it.

Several times a week a skid at roundabouts or at right angles in wet weather. The rear side slides away. Ideal drift tyre but had expected more grip for such a price range/brand

Driving, braking distance and noise are fine. No durability, although it seemed to me that it'll be hard. Front axle after one season to be changed, back half-off, distance about 6200 miles. New suspension and adjustment of convergence before replacing these tyres. Use in mountainous terrain and on German and Polish highways. After the winter season Dunlop can not see any wear. I can't recommend.

Medium-quality HP tyre. It does everything on average, definitely in this size it does the worst on wet surfaces, despite the quattro drive. I recommend it to people buying new tyres who do not want to overpay, but want to get a solid tyre at a decent price.

Even if the car's toe-in was perfect the wear is mainly on the outer shoulder.

Perfect tyres. Really durable what is quite important. I used them on low quality roads often and evertyhing is fine. Very easy to fit on the vehicle and later easy to take care about them. All what needs to bo checked is pressure level but I never had a situation when it was hihgly to low. Of course tread has to be under control but I have these tyres on my car already second season and they look good still. When I will have to change tyres set for a new one I will go for Bridgestone Potenza S001 if possible or for different Bridgestone model. Perfect for everyday use and for every driver in my opinion. Nothing to complain about at all.
