Review on Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40 R19 89Y summer by Wiktor Jakuta ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very pleased with this purchase, will recommend it to everyone!

Usually this rubber is bought by those who know it. Prior to this, 4 seasons I skated on RE030, even when it approached the slick, the road kept excellent, naturally worse in the rain. For me, this tire is perfect. I won’t say that I am a speed racer, I ride at maximum speeds more (220-240), but sometimes I have to lay it down well. Rubber does this very well. A very good bead, closes the disc, even if you do not carefully park on the curb (curb), the disc will not suffer. Previously, this board was in the form of a ledge, now it is even, due to which the rubber is wider (XL). Everyone says that it is noisy, apparently they did not drive on noisy tires, at a speed of 100-120 you can comfortably talk and I would not say that my car is super noise-insulated (FORESTER) If you think that these high and low profile tires are the same, then this is not at all the case, they are completely different rubbers with different noise and characteristics. If you want to buy this small radius rubber (for example 16) and have never ridden it, then I advise you to look at something else, you may not like it. For those for whom an increase in fuel consumption by 1 liter is critical, I advise you to first correctly calculate the fuel consumption, which in winter, by no means, can be less than in summer ! Secondly, look towards budget tires. All this is written regarding S001 225/45 R18 Subaru Forester car

Pros
  • Excellent road holding, both dry and wet. Rigid side, perfectly holds pits, catching hernias is simply not realistic. The board closes the disk. Metal cord. Made in Japan Very good wear resistance. XL - wider than standard size
Cons
  • In principle, these are not disadvantages for me, but I will describe the differences from similar tires: The strength of the tire is naturally due to the increase in weight. The weight is almost 2 kg more than, for example, a Michelin of the same size, but the bear grinds faster and does not hold holes so well, because. kapron cord. Tougher than the like. Accordingly, the noise will be greater (I really did not notice), but the wear resistance will be higher and work at high temperatures. Due to the rigidity of the side, she does not quite like rutting, she can steer herself if she holds the steering wheel with one finger. Well, maybe for someone it will seem like a minus, the year of issue is 2022 48th week.
