2017-01-10 - Is the Potenza S001 (which is fitted on my new Mercedes SLC) a run flat tire or are there two versions ie run flat and normal? Thank you.
If the tire on your new Mercedes is the runflat version of the S001, it will have "runflat" / "rft" marked clearly on the sidewall.
2017-02-04 - I want to buy a summer tire for my Honda Civic.. 205/55 R16.. I live in Zonguldak Ereğli.. Wet roads.. But if I make 25000 km for only 1 year.. Half is at highway, half is at wet roads.. I wanted to buy 205/55/16 94w , XL.. Safe and hard tire.. But I think this type of tire is very hard. Are there adverse effects on road handling? Which tires can you suggest to me?
The Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT is a runflat tire, so has a very hard sidewall. This will protect you from sidewall damage on poor surface roads, but as a result it will be less comfortable than a non-runflat tire. We suggest you look at the Bridgestone DriveGuard
2019-04-02 - What tire do you recommend on a BMW m 140I I have Bridgestone potential soo1 rf on now which I have had since new
The default non-runflat option is the Michelin Pilot Super Sport, however this has now been replaced by the PIlot Sport 4 which offers better wet grip and higher levels of comfort, at the expense of some steering feel.
2024-02-21 - When are you going to do a runflat group test?
Unfortunately due to the extremely high costs and lack of real demand it seems unlikely I'll get to do this any time soon. The good news is that a tire that performs well in non runflat is generally good in runflat, however with a large % of runflat tires being OE specifications the translation doesn't always work out.
