Review
Have tried this S001 only lasted 2 years/30000km. Performance wise, S001 is comparable for other similar tyre. This tyre performed as expected, subjectively offering confident braking and handling. Noise level still okay. But I think I am disappointed is the low mileage that this tyre offer. I would not recommend this for those who like performance and yet also concern about durability.

What I like
Performance and handling as expected from Bridgestone

What I do not like
Mileage

Good wet grip except that it is slightly noisier than the previous Turanza T005A. Deep side grooves provides for good handling & cornering. Wide groves prevents aqua plating - Sebastian Chow, Owner of Volkswagen Golf

I like Bridgestone Tyre. They are well build and comfortable to drive in. I am using the run in Tyre which is very safe in case of a puncture while driving. - Adrian Chan, Owner of BMW 216i

A great all rounder Tyre but price wise is on high side compared to other Premium Tyre Brands. If Price is set right, or with better Promotions might consider to purchase again. - Adam, Owner of Volkswagen Golf

One of the best run flat tyres I have tried with a softer feel. Too bad there is no RFT option for the S007 for my tyre configuration. My OEM tyres are the Conti CSC 5 before my switch to Bridgestone. Should have done the switch earlier. - Leslie Ong, Owner of Mercedes-Benz C180

"This is my second set of tyres I am using. They have very good grip on dry surface and also during raining. However, there is an increase in noise level after using approximately 10K km. Price is on the high side." - Chua Chee Seng, Owner of Toyota Estima

Good all round tyre for sporty car. Reliable and doesn't wear out fast. Good grip on wet roads. For such good performance tyres, the down side would be the noise. - Calvin chen, Owner of Skoda Octava

Great service from the tyre shop. Been going to this shop for the last 20 years. S001 tyres are very difficult to source. Waiting time is very long. Quality of tyre is good. - Lim, Owner of Subaru Legacy

Dated Tyre that should retire  Posted on 27 Sep 2024

Review
Had these as OEM 18" tyres for my Skoda Octavia RS245. While they perform well initially and under normal conditions, they weakness starts to show when you start to drive it in a spirited way as most performance cars would. The grip, while adequate, could not take the stress of a high torque car (370nm) resulting in much wheel spin which is undesirable for a performance car. If you throw it round the corners and the sidewall flex quite a fair bit, impeding the steering response and you will need to adjust your steering to get back to line. Due to the poor grip you will often hear lots of screeches in the corner, signalling that the tyres are at its limits while you know your car can do much more. At wet weather, the grip is pretty much reduced and it would be wise not to push the car too much to reduce the chances of aqua panning. While the tire is quite smooth and comfortable, it's impeded by the noise which starts to show as early as 10k. Why bother a tire with adequate grip of a UHP tire but sounded like a EP tire? This is a dated tire that should have retired. There are many other options that offers better grip and comfort at the same price range.

What I like
1. Adequate comfort
2. Adequate threadwear

What I do not like
1. Poor dry performance at spirited driving
2. Wet performance not confident
2. noise level from 10k onwards
