The tyre makes driving the 190 HP Skoda superb with front wheel drive very unpleasing. The car front grip is non existent accellerating out of corners on dry, on wet there the grip is very bad without accellerating already. The comfort is very poor, the tyre is too soft, despite having above recommended tyre pressure, the car keep on bounces at every bump. The middle sections of the tyres still have some 4mm thread left, the inner sides no longer have any thread (tyres were rotated, so all 4 are threadless on inner sides), outter sides have about of 1mm thread left. The car being driven from new and the tyres being factory fitted in 235/40 R19, i thought it was just a shitty car. Coming from the C6 A6 3.0 TDI quattro, i just thought it was shitty because it's a skoda. Fitting winter tyres showed, that the culprit was in fact the shitty bridgestone S001 tyres. The tyres are loud as hell on highway speeds, on normal roads the noise is ok. A very very bad tyre, despite being priced rather high.

Original fit on an MX5 ND 184, on dry roads they remain acceptable but on wet roads they are not catastrophic. Duration: 17000 km

Super quick response at steering inputs. Very sporty tyre. Noisy at high speeds. Wear could be better.

Grip OK. Wear rate poor. Handling ride and noise good

Skoda Kodiaq tyres are 4 years old 19k miles - all tyres are cracked on the outer shoulder - recommender for change by Skoda dealer. Ride is firm < bordering harsh...............propose to review softer ride options = alternative manufacturer. Considered increased tyre depth = 45 or 50 options, but both show as too high road speed (over 3%) for existing ECU speedo calibration. Skoda dealer advised this is a factory setting & cannot be changed

Had these fitted when I bought my car. Drove around 15000 km until popped one of the front tires at a construction zone, thank god for the RFT I drove around 70 km until my destination. If to compare tires that I ever used - Pirelli P ZERO, Goodyear F1 Asymmetric, Continental Sport Contact etc. These tires are not for slow driving, in town they feel "plastic", not much feedback and the comfort is quite bad even with 7 series air suspension. The wet grip is not the best I ever felt, the dry grip was quite good. I think that the most impressive thing about these tires is how well they handle at high speeds (150+ km/h), it is just unbelievable how easy it is to turn with very subtle roll at 200-260 km/h. I think that these tires were specifically created for very high speed driving were they feel phenomenally easy and effortless to drive. Now I drive the continental sport contact tires and in the same corners and speeds it takes more effort to do anything and much more roll.

BMW X4 Runflats. 69 plate. 10,000 mls 3mm left on both fronts. Felt I was driving on air . No feedback. With so much wear you would have expected the tyres to have stuck to the road. Exactly the opposite! Worst of both worlds for wear and grip. Costing approx 200 each fitted. Definitely not buying again.

Bought a 2015 MX5 with these tires on as OEM. The car has done 24000 miles from new and the tires are worn out. The ride is bumpy and the tires feel really hard to the point where they don't grip well. Driving hard in the dry they are acceptable. Driving hard in the wet is not possible due to low levels of grip. In the wet it's like driving with banana skins on your wheels and steering becomes inprecise. These tires are probably great if you live in a hot, dry country as they do start to grip well when warmed up. Unfortunately I live in Scotland!

I've got these tyres factory fitted on my brand new Skoda Octavia Combi vRS TDI M6 FWD 184PS/380NM MY2014. They lasted for 6 Seasons / 43701 km / 27155 mi, hat 3 mm in the centre measured, 2 mm on the outside blocks. I have to admit - I should have replaced them after the fourth season because of sawtooth formation. I am a conscious driver, drive very predictably, live in Germany and travel almost entirely on the Autobahn. Actually I had at least some couple of thousand kilometres at spirited speeds of above 200 km/h... Maybe that's the reason why the OEM Bridgestones Potenza S001 got those sawtooth formation... Every season I rotated the tyres so that I could achieve a regular wear on all 4 wheels. At approximately 5-6 mm rest profile or 3-4 Seasons they started to get loud. The formation of sawtooth could not be stopped any more. The Outside edges had at least 1 mm less profile than measured in the centre. In addition: very unpredictable and slippery on wet surfaces - no traction but wheelspin even on third gear. My conclusion - Bridgestone Potenza S001 225/40R18 92Y (mines from 2014) is not worth the money. Pro: good control and feedback on dry, good stability at high speeds (on dry). Contra: sawtooth formation, bad handling and slippery on wet, loud (because of sawtooth), not comfortable (stiff sidewalls). Now I have fitted Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/40R18 92W from 2020 and I was during the first season (approx. 10000 km) pleased with them...

These were already fitted to my fresh import in 2018 and while I find most tyres aren't worth writing about, these were eye widening. Best performance tyres I've ever had, with pin sharp turn-in and what seemed like unlimited grip in both dry and wet, summer or winter. Gave me the confidence to push-on down UK back roads in all weathers. Main down side was the very firm ride, feeling every irregularity in the road. Subaru recommends relatively low tyres pressures, especially on the rear and I believe this contributed to bold shoulders at 17,500 miles, so I now run an extra 2psi. These are no longer available in my tyre size and so I've switched to the older RE050A, which actually seem a better compromise for a performance family estate, with a more compliant ride, while retaining most of the performance. Just waiting to see how they wear.

Is a hard overall tyre. Very good grip on the dry but need much time to warm. Very good handline, the steering well obeys immediately. So, hard tyre = hard to wear. Three years with sporty driving on dry contitions, over than 40k kilometers and still alive. Wet grip it's not the best point of this tyre. Looks nice till 120km/h but don't pushing more than 120 on wet contitions. About comfort. No, the point of this tyre also isn't the comfortable. Very noisy on good roads, and very shaking on bumpy road.Yes i am very hapy about this tyre for my personal use and i will buy it again
