We went up north to find out if the performance oriented Bridgestone Potenza S007A is a good all-rounder for the daily as well as spirited driving. Read More »
Review Been waiting to try these tyres for months. And I finally get my hands (grip) on it! I have been Bridgestone fans all along when I am still driving my puny Suzuki Carry, I have also been using Bridgestone. And now I manage to try the new S007A. This is a predecessor of the S001 which is already a very remarkable tyre.
The performance of S007A is responsive during dry weather as it has good steering feedback and it gives me more confidence with cornering.
During wet weather driving, which recently always rain. I have tested the tyres and I must say the performance of the wet is superb. It is still grippy during the wet.
And the tyres price itself very competitive among its competitor. It is delightful that the Bridgestone agent position the price so closely matched with other brands PI's models. It gives me more confidence to buy it.
Maybe I will write another feedback about the wear life as I cannot determine yet for now.
What I like Superb wet driving conditions.
Grippy
good feedback.
Competitive pricing
What I do not like Tyre pattern looks normal and bland. (but it still works like magic!)
Review Was a PS fan and then Asy fan for price vs performance until I tried S001. When driven hard and pushed to the limit in the dry, the S001, gave awesome grip compared to the Asy (at the expense of tire wear). Also very comfortable tires compared to the Asy. Once it became hard to get S001, I returned to Asy. After being spoilt with the comfort of S001, hated how uncomfortable the Asy were while not giving as much grip at the limit as the S001. Hence, when S007a became available(as a replacement for the S001), I jumped at the chance to change out of the Asy in to these. What I can say it's that the sidewall on these are noticeably harder than the S001, but does not feel as harsh as Asy or P-zeros for that matter. Despite being harder than its predecessor-the S001, dry and wet grip are way up. I can't force the rear of the car to lose traction mid corner anymore. I've really had to change the way I drive with these tyres. They're definitely a class up in terms of grip from the S001. Even after a few months of hard driving- 2 trips to Mersing, I'm surprised at how well these tyres are wearing for the amount of grip that they have. On the old S001, they'd be mid way through their thread depth.
What I like Pure dry and wet grip
What I do not like Harder sidewall compared to the S001.
Too grippy. I'd take the S001 again for how fun those tyres were. Grippy and allows you to break traction if you push them hard enough.

Review Having tried numerous other expensive and famous European and Japanese high-performance tyres, I've found Bridgestone's Potenza S007A to be the most confidence-inspiring tyre model. The stiff sidewall (Kevlar, I read) leads to pleasingly sharp and precise turn-in and cornering response, while cornering shows exceedingly high limits of grip. Importantly, I find the behaviour of the S007As is predictable and assured right at the limit, and it provides a great safety window if the corner suddenly tightens. Even during loss of grip, it remains controllable and very composed, which led me to trust this tyre a lot. I only wish for improved wet grip (although it is already far beyond what normal drivers will demand) and a lower wear rate.
Additionally, I was pleasantly surprised that noise and ride comfort is also on par with more comfort-oriented tyres, which means my family can enjoy a smooth silent ride even on performance tyres.
This is my 3rd car on S007As - I fitted S007As for my family's new Mazda 3 as well due to the confidence I have in this tyre. - Lim Sze Yuan, Owner of Honda Stream SJE83--T

Review The S007A gives me almost the same level of steering response as RE070 yet it allows a more confident drive in the wet. Highly recommend this as a suitable replacement for the FD2 Honda Civic Type R - Gay Eng Joo, Owner of Honda Civic EJ33--G

Review Bridgestone would probably consider introduce a more competitive range of tyres. would be better if they can be more fuel efficent and with better road handling. IN general, the tyres are goo dbut may be noisy at times. - Amos Ong, Owner of Mercedes-Benz C180 SLH10--B
