I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I returned to Bridgestone - earlier I had Bridgestone on almost all cars - different models and turnaza and adrenaline, ice cruiser, summer and winter, and I never experienced such difficulties as with Hankook. How many holes I did not catch, at 100 km / h on the highway, at crossings, at the junctions of overpes, not a single hernia and not a single side breakdown! Even the winter skatmpovka disks became square from the pits, but the tires did not let down. Neither winter nor summer tires were not. The experiment with the new technological tire Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 failed!
From Bridgestone Potenza S001 I expect reliable service as it was before.
Thank you all for your attention.

Pros

I purchased this Bridgestone Potenza S001 tire in 235/45/R18 dimensions to replace the Hankook Ventus V12 evo2 of the same profile. Tire change became a necessary measure. After one punched in the cord - a hernia, the second punched along with a torn cast disk - I bought a new one, the third punched in the cord - I decided to change and no longer buy Hankook. Well him! Something I'm tired of riding it. Everything is fine, but it is unrealistic to go around all the pits on our roads. Advantages - on a good road, the Hankook Ventus handle is excellent, on a wet road, the handle is excellent. Braking is good. Noise is average. Turns into turns is great. Acceleration is good. Irregularities breaks very strongly, joints on overpes, pits, speed bumps breaks very hard. The Bridgestone Potenza S001 feels like a lot better than the Hankook Ventus. It does not make noise, pes through joints, pits, bumps very tightly, does not transmit blows to the body, and extinguishes them very effectively. The main plus, why the choice fell on it, is a very strong sidewall, very hard rubber and noise from it is not significant. Rides perfectly, you feel confident on the road, braking is good, acceleration is excellent, maneuverability does not suffer.

Cons

Everything good in Hankook Ventus is crossed out by one drawback - a weak sidewall, which essentially led to the rejection of rubber. It is impossible to constantly change tires due to broken roads. Bridgestone Potenza S001 - no flaws were noticed, maybe she doesn’t like rutting, but everything else is on top of her.
