The tyres work as expected. The Bridgestone Potenza was the factory fitted tyre and I have never changed.

Haven't been on the car long, but feel comparable to the OEM original fittings.

Only one replacement matching tyre was required after kerb damage. The matching replacement could not be sourced from within Victoria and was purchased via Super Cheap Auto Services in NSW. Ordered on line and tyre was delivered the very next day. Good quality tyre and excellent service. Thanks Allan

TBH the tyres are decent enough, little disappointing on initial turn in with small amounts of understeer and doesn't mimic the same characteristics of the rear which is very neutral into power oversteer. That being said the buying experience was the poorest most laughable experience I've had to deal with in years. From Tyroola publishing false and misleading statements, customer service staff just making up reasons for it out of thin air - and each answer being different as well - to delivering me the wrong tyres and ruining plans on activities that were paid for an non-refundable. Then having a warehouse muppet say he'll deliver the correct tyres that evening and swap over the incorrect ones - who decided to not even bother to do so after agreeing so and ignoring all communications over that weekend. Courier was booked to pick up the incorrect tyres the following week but then lied about actually turning up as no one called through to the apartment to ask for collection. I was asked by Tyroola Staff to leave the incorrect tyres inside my apartment foyer for collection and advised I had done that as per their request. Courier once again never come to collect them. In the meantime they were collected by someone at sometime and I'm being blamed for it, although they were left at their request, notwithstanding if their warehouse staff did the job he said they would they would have been collected a week prior, and the courier who lied about arriving to collect the previous week and then didn't arrive when it was booked again for collection. You couldn't have paid me enough money to take tyres from this company ever again. The worst staff and the worst customer service ever if it could even be called that. If they decide to send me an invoice for the incorrect tyres I'll happily wipe my ass with it and send it back

Why This Tyre?

What's the Pros And Cons?


Bridgestone Potenza S001 UTQG 280 A A

Compare and Rate Your Tyre on its Treadwear, Traction, and Temperature

tyre-size

280 A A

•  280 Treadwear:
This grade represents the tyre's expected life/duration, ranging between 100 to 1000. Usually, the higher the treadwear rating, the longer the tyre life.

•  A Traction:
This grade represents the tyre's capability to stop on wet asphalt and pavement. Ratings are expressed in letter form, with AA being the highest and C as the lowest.

•  A Temperature:
This grade represents the tyre's heat resistance ability, with A as the highest and C as the lowest. Heat build-up causes the rubber to break down faster, which can cause blowouts. The higher the temperature rating, the longer the tyre life and the higher the speed rating.

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is an Asymmetrical Tyre


tyre-size

Asymmetrical tread patterns combine different tread types to deliver maximum wet and dry road grip via its inner and middle tread, while outside, larger and rigid tread blocks dominate the design to improve cornering.

To avoid fitting mistakes, asymmetrical tyres are labelled "outside" and "inside only" so you know if they will face your vehicle or out.

Bridgestone OEM Tyres

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is chosen as the OE (original equipment) tyre of prestigious automakers such as Ferrari, Lexus, and Aston Martin.

This means that the tyre was repeatedly tested to meet the vehicle manufacturers' stringent performance, safety, and fuel efficiency standards.

Bridgestone Run-Flat Tyre

The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is available in a run-flat version, allowing you to drive further on a flat. Its run-flat technology lets the tyre support the vehicle's weight even with air loss.

With a run-flat tyre, you can still travel up to around 80 kilometres at a maximum speed of 80 kilometres per hour without changing your flat tyre. However, you must install a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) to detect tire pressure changes so that you can take appropriate action.br>
With a Bridgestone Run-Flat tyre, you enjoy peace of mind while testing the limits of your vehicle's performance.
