Bridgestone Potenza S001 RFT

Brand: Bridgestone
Tire: Potenza S001 RFT
Category: Max Performance Summer
UTQG (treadwear): 280 A A



This tire is pretty much a duplicate of the original Bridgestone Potenza S001, only with run flat technology. That translates into the tire being able to be driven about 50 miles after a puncture, which can be very handy. This tire was developed to be used as Original Equipment exclusively for the BMW 3 Series beginning in 2012. These are summer tires, so keep in mind that they are not intended to be driven in ice or snow, or at near freezing temperatures. Bridgestone also notes that you should only install these tires in sets of four and you should not mix these with other tires, even ones that Bridgestone makes. Head over the the review of the Potenza S001 to see more details on the tire including its traction capabilities and longevity, I can't write a whole lot more than what's in the review there.
