BRIDGESTONE
POTENZA S005
235/35R19 91Y

by Satisfied customer 20th April 2024
Potenza S005 have been extremely hard to come by in Australia for approximately a year now and have only become available very recently. Even the local Bridgestone dealer thought it was a discontinued model due to lack of availability. A unique feature of this tyre is the super wide rim protection (as seen on the 225/40/18, not sure if this is applicable for the other size tyres though). It is MUCH MUCH wider than the typical rim protection offered on Bridgestone's other tyres (e.g. Adrenalin RE003, Potenza S001) and competing brands such as Continental (eg. Sport Contact), Michelin (eg. Pilot Sport 4 and 5) et al. Apparently, it's the OEM tyre for the Golf Mk 8 - so VW may have had some input into the design and features. Excellent protection against gutter rash on rims obviously. Too early to gauge tyre wear (1200 kms) but since it's a Treadwear 240 I'm not expecting much, on the flip side the grip and handling is very good. Hardly any wheelspin from a standing stop in the rain (VW Golf). Rides OK and noise is reasonable. Highly recommended and I'll continue to purchase this tyre model as long as it's manufactured.
