Description of Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40 R19 89Y summer
Bridgestone tires are one of the most popular among Russian motorists. Despite the purely British name, the company was founded in Japan in 1930. The factory was founded by Japanese businessman Shojiro Ishibashi, who became the first tire manufacturer in Japan. Already by 1934, Bridgestone offered a wide range of products and opened the largest tire production in the city of Kurume.
In 1962, the first truck tires were produced, and two years later, a tire with a radial design was born.
The company grew rapidly, and in order to enter the European market, it was decided to open a representative office in Brussels. In 1982, Bridgestone released their first winter friction tire, which quickly gained popularity in Japan.
In 2004, Bridgestone tires were fitted to the motorcycles of the legendary Suzuki racing team and immediately became the winner of prestigious races. In general, 2004 was a landmark year for the corporation - it was in this year that the millionth Bridgestone tire was removed from the assembly line. A few months later, two unique car factories - Ferrari and Maserati - decided to install Bridgestone tires on their cars.
Nowadays, the Japanese company manufactures rubber for various vehicles - cars, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles, construction and agricultural machinery, as well as motorcycles and aircraft.
It is worth mentioning the main features of Bridgestone summer and winter tires. Many summer models are made using the unique Run-Flat technology, thanks to which the car can continue to move even if the tire is punctured. And Bridgestone winter models have strong tungsten carbide studs, due to which the tire does an excellent job of handling on ice and snowy surfaces. Safety is ensured throughout the entire service life.
In Japan, Bridgestone tires take first place in all ratings, and in the world - second after the products of the French company Michelin. Bridgestone has an extensive distribution network and offices in over 150 countries around the world. The core philosophy of the brand is to serve the community with excellence, and it has been that way since its inception. It is thanks to its commitment to development and innovation that Bridgestone is so loved by millions of consumers around the world.

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.
Pros
- Controllability Rigid sidewall Hold dry, I would rate it as "good" In the rain, it seemed to me that up to 110-130 km / h you can safely drive on a smooth road. In other cases, I do not exceed much, not because the rubber does not allow, but because it is unsafe.
Cons
- NOISE Harsh
Pros
- Derzhak on dry and wet osfalte. Braking. acceleration. Lateral stability. Strength. pops up only in deep puddles and speeds. yes, and there’s nothing to drive through puddles) there’s still no such rubber so that it drives through deep puddles as if on dry land.
Cons
- Does not like temperatures below 15 degrees. Slightly quick wear and tear, but better noise and control over the car than silence and buoyancy. in a rut it will jump out, but this is because of the solid sidewall. And not yuud mudaklm-dispersed so take both hands behind the wheel.
