Top 3 Bridgestone Potenza RE001 Reviews

Given 61% while driving a Lexus LS430 (/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 40,000 easy going miles
I don't know if it's the tire or if Lexus LS owners have never driven a luxury car before, but my 2001 LS430 isn't any more quiet than my e39. On coarse asphalt the car rumbles quite loudly; on cement freeways at speed there is an incessant, pronounced road noise in the 250Hz to 2,000Hz range that sounds like, "SCHHHH", with virtually everything driven over producing thumps and bangs. Driving over fresh asphalt at the same speed silences the interior and provides immediate relief. I do not believe the LS430 to quite match Cadillacs from the 1980s in terms of noise and harshness suppression. The LS430 is quieter than a family sedan, but not by much. The Bridgestone Potenzas may be part of the cause, I don't know. I bought the car with the tire. But past experience with an LS400 test drive years ago tells me the car is more to blame and not the tire...

I have an evolution 4 lancer and drag race with these tyres on 500hp. My 60ft. Time is 1.8 seconds and 11.5 on the 1/4 mile. For a street tyre the grip is amazing !!!!!

Given 86% while driving a BMW 520i (235/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
This set of 4 tires was my third, fitted to my BMW E39. It is much better than the Michelin PS3 EU made I had before. The latter tended to crack and chip after 2 years (60% used) and a bit hardened. I then switched to PS3 Japan, and this set was better than the EU set. But for Malaysian road, the Potenza RE001 is superior.

Excellent all round tyre. Need some new rubber soon and will probably stick to these as they have performed well. These where on the car when i bought it and ive had around 3000 miles driving on them with no problems. Done lots of researching on internet and the only other tyre which i would consider would prob be Goodyear eagle f1 assymetrics as these have rave reviews too.

Given 51% while driving a Volkswagen Golf 2.0 GT FSI (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 20,000 spirited miles
Good to start with for track use, poor consistency in grip over life of tyre. Harsh ride.

Much better value out there. Go elsewhere.

very good performance tyres, have worn pretty well as average is 30km and i have managed more than 10% over this. Other than being a bit noisy, which I understand the new RE002 is improved, a very good tyre

Unexpectedly strong aquaplaning. You have to be ready for it. Over time tyre becomes harder. Excellent grip and response on dry!

Got the Tyres fitted after my last Kumho KU31, Superb Grip in Dry and extremely good in wet, breaking grip is phenomenal! don't be fooled its a hard Tyre u won't have much comfort with it and it feels like the early ages of the Run flat Tyre on BMW's its a hard Tyre but i knew that i was buying a sporty Tyre for my aggressive driving style and they deliver and exceed the performance that i wanted from them! By far long the best Tyre i had fitted to my car and will be changing to Potenza RE002 when they completely Wear out! :)

Given 76% while driving a Subaru legacy (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 120 average miles
OK, first of all these tyres were made in three different factories when i purchased and i specifically purchased australian made in the first 4 i had, the aussie made tyres had good all round grip in wet and dry but not as good as the japan made versions. both japan and aussie tyres wore out the same time on a turbo awd subaru wagon. Now i got some thailand replacements which were absolutely rubbish and wore and twice as fast. this is with recommended rotation intervals. check to see where they are made and stay clear of the thailand versions.

Cornering is fantastic. Response is fantastik. You will feel like a pro.racer. But after 2 years it's compound gets harder and it looses it feature. On clean rainy tarmac it feels good but in rain soaked dusty asphalt ıt's not good. It becomes unpredictabel. Though for this price its the BEST!!
