Review on Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40 R19 89Y summer by Jnis teins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I'm completely satisfied with the product, it works.

Car Ford Focus 2 2 liters, tires 205/55/16, I have been operating since May 2022, the main operation is in the city, there is little on the highway, the city / highway ratio is 70/30. Ekaterinburg. Driving type: energetic, sometimes extreme. The first year of operation is a pleasure, excellent handling, not one demolition of axles, both on water and on a dry surface, I almost did not want to slip when stark. But I immediately noticed a strong noise which is safely compensated by the maximum running characteristics. The boards are so hard that the girl rolled all day at 0.5 in one wheel, the board was slipping slightly (found out in the evening). By the 2022 season, wear is gradually approaching the indicators, and if on the new aquaplaning in heavy rain it started at 110 km/h, now it starts at 70-80 km/h. When it hits a rut, the steering wheel jerks, you have to remember about it and sometimes hold it harder, in general, the rut feels very much like a new used one. Noise by the 4th year of operation increased significantly. Conclusion: if the noise of the wheels is not important to you, but the maximum driving properties are very important, then this rubber is for you, you will ride "like on rails".

Pros
  • 205/55/16 Excellent road holding on both dry and wet surfaces. With a small puncture, you can safely get to the tire shop. Excellent braking performance on both dry and wet surfaces. Wear resistant.
Cons
  • 205/55/16 Rigid. Strongly feels the rut. Very noisy.
