Outstanding rigidity and dry grip. Very good wet grip and road feedback. The Durability of this tire is marvelous as well.

Spin during 1st and 2nd gear but overall an okay tire, wouldn't choose this tire but it was on my MK7 Golf GTI as standard so kept them but now moving on Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

New VW Golf mk7 GTD was originally fitted with Bridgestone Potenza S001's. At 19,000 miles the front tires still had 3mm tread and the rear's 5mm but the ride was very hard and uncomfortable, with every pit, pothole and bump in the road surface transmitted though the tires. Despite there being plenty of legal life remaining I changed all four tires to Michelin Pilot Sport 4's with an immediate improvement in ride comfort. It feels like all roads have been recenly resurfaced. Dry and wet handling are improved too. Too soon to evaluate wear, but I'm expecting the Michelin's to easily out-perform the Bridgestone's.

Shockingly hard and awful tire. Dry grip is decent and wet is shocking. This is down to the hard compound of the tire. Avoid buying these!!!

Tires only lasted 7000 miles before needing to be replaced on the front but have been dying to get rid of them since only a few weeks old anyway! With about 200bhp I'm surprised they would spin through to 3rd gear in the dry and sometime further in the wet but I must admit the cornering grip has been well above expectation.

These tires came with the car from new.

For casual driving these tires are good enough: quiet, long lasting and have good wet grip. However, the tires have rather mediocre dry weather performance which quickly deteriorates as the tires get hot. When this happens the tires squeal at even lower speeds and run out of traction much earlier to the point where dry tarmac starts to feel like wet. This must be kept in mind if doing pro-longed fast road driving in warm or dry weather at which point I'd recommend looking elsewhere for high performance tires.

Had these on a 335d Coupe and my current 340i saloon. On the 335d they were great - plenty of grip is all conditions, very resistant to aquaplaning. However, like all RFTs, the ride was firm .Switch to my 340i and, until recently, I'd have said exactly the same. However, now the front tires have worn down to ~3mm, there is an alarming tendency to understeer. If you buy these tires, don't expect to run them down to the anywhere close to the 1.6mm legal minimum.

I would never have these tires on a car again even if factory fitted, 3.8 mil tread depth center, all tires worn out on o/s edges
There are no tracking issues! done 21,150 miles of easy driving.
Wet surface on incline from stand still wheel spin "very little power to the wheels"
Better grip in the dry, Very bad road noise and it's like riding on brick tires, heavy steering.

Would not recommend at all.

Changed to Fulda Sportcontrol 2 100% better in all departments

Very grippy until the end of there lifes. Mostly on mountain roads

Because the state of the roads in this country these Bridgestone s001 are useless.. brand new car 2016 and the tires are delaminating , with plenty of tread left,, I've not taken this car up to 100 MPH. SO ITS NOT THE SPEED THAT DONE THESE TYRES IN. The front don't grip the road if pulling away to quick.. These tires DONT suit the golf front wheel drive,, and very bumpy on the road ..Noise level not to bad being low profiles..

Good tire nothing special i do have them on Polo GTI, and BMW. I do check pressure every week but i wouldn't be able to get 30k. I do love driving cars and motorbikes so i do use cars to full potential sometimes.would i buy again probably not. I am not Bridgestone guy, only because i have better all round tires, and i do find them a bit stiff, maybe on the smooth road would be a diffrent review but Sydney roads are pretty bad.

The dry grip is excellent aswell as the road feedback and handling. Some people have complained and said that the tire feels wobbly when turning - However, this is nothing I have felt during my time owning them. The wet grip is also overall good and I have driven in 150km/h when it has been raining like HELL NO, still without problems and with no tendence to aquaplane. The wear rate is a little bit higher, which comes as no suprise for this kind of performance tire. However, if you are considering this tire, also do consider if you can stand the high noise they will make.
