    Bad Points: None.


    General comments: Great grip wet or dry - car goes where pointed and stops well. Low wear considering cornering speeds. 25k on fronts fitted to Astra SRI 2.0l Turbo - rears still wearing well!
    Tyres fitted from new and replaced on front - wouldn't consider other makes as these perform so well.

    Absolutely fantastic grip both wet and dry, used to run Michellin Pilot Sports and these are a far superior tyre!
    I am a mechanic/recovery operator, and have driven 2 cars with them on, An Astra SXi (205/50/16) and a Golf GT TDi (225/45/17), and no matter how hard you're pushing on, they just keep on gripping, 1st class.

    Excellent grip in the dry once properly warmed up. They become really sticky, but you do need to get them warmed up to this stage before they perform well otherwise they are just average.For normal everyday driving they last well. I've got over 2 years or about 30,000 miles from them before in an AWD car. Push them harder and they come into their own and give amazing grip, good feedback, not too much road noise and inspire confidence.I would recommend them and buy them again.

    These Bridgestone Potenza run flat tyres were fitted to my Mini Cooper S Works as standard and I really can't wait to change them. My previous Mini had Goodyear F1s which were fabulous. These are just awful, and in the wet feel dangerous, especially on wet roundabouts where I've nearly had collisions due to appalling understeer.

    Well what can you say Honda Accord Tourer 2.2 diesel 225/45/17 original fit Yokohama replaced fronts at 25000 by dealer with Bridgestone. Replaced rears 28,000 by tyre dealership. 9,500 miles later I needed new front tyres. I am a steady driver police trained and qualified, and the driving it a mix between driving around town and dual carriageway. I do approximately 18,000 miles a year. I have never had such bad tyres for wear since the police had Rover 3500s with dunlop Donovo in the early 80's ...

    Worst tyre since dunlop donovo in my opinion. Honda Accord tourer exec diesel fitted with Yokohama 225/45/17 on new car 24000 for front tyres. 28000 for rear. At 24000 service, fitted Bridgestone Potenza by Honda Dealership, at same time paid for car to be tracked as wear was on inner edge. I then fitted 2 more to the rear 4000 later. 9500 further down the road less than 2mm left across the whole tyre. Bridgestone suggest my driving. Police trained driver, ex mechanic 56yr old to old for racing ...
