The Potenza S001 is Bridgestone's Max Performance Summer tire developed as Original Equipment for premium high-performance sports cars, coupes and sedans. The Potenza S001 is designed to combine low rolling resistance efficiency with maximum sports performance in dry and wet conditions. However, like all summer tires, they are not intended to be driven in near freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

The Potenza S001 features an asymmetric design combining a large outboard shoulder, interlocking tread blocks and a central circumferential rib to enhance dry road steering response, high-speed stability and cornering precision. Notches in the shoulders expel water to the sides while high-angle lateral grooves in the intermediate ribs pump water into the wide circumferential grooves to help resist hydroplaning.

The tire's internal structure features a lightweight belt package consisting of twin steel belts supported by a spirally wrapped aramid/nylon cord reinforcement that reduces rolling resistance, enhances ride quality and ensures high-speed durability. Active rubber inserts in the sidewalls near the bead areas tune vertical sidewall stiffness to blend cornering grip with ride comfort, as well as increase longitudinal stiffness to generate straight-line braking forces.

...In my first 4 hour highway trip in the Carolinas, the rain was coming down at 1 inch per hour. The Pirellis stayed firm on the road and had little to no shimmy when forging through standing water at 60 mph...

Wet traction, comfort, noise, and tread life were my top priorities and so far, these hit the mark. These tires have been great for the first 1,000 miles on my '11 Outback. In my first 4 hour highway trip in the Carolinas, the rain was coming down at 1 inch per hour. The Pirellis stayed firm on the road and had little to no shimmy when forging through standing water at 60 mph. The price/value was comparable to other tires in the same class. The comfort and noise are very good in driving around town, as well.
Purchase and install process was seamless. Had them drop shipped to a TR recommended shop and they arrived on time. I really liked the feature which provided an estimate on installation cost at the 5-6 shops within 10 miles of me. I called ahead to see if the prices were accurate and indeed, they were.

I have not had the tires that long, but they are dramatically better than the Michelins I replaced. The OEM Michelins (which had good tread) were a little scary on wet traction and these tires are great. I have not yet experienced real snow, but in one ice snow event recently, they performed well ... no slipping ... confident road contact. I am happy with my purchase ... no longer afraid for my wife to drive the car.

...Fabulous, predictable handling, braking, and ride on snowy, icy, wet, or dry roads...

These Pirelli A/S 3+ are an excellent, grand touring, A/S tire. Fabulous, predictable handling, braking, and ride on snowy, icy, wet, or dry roads. Also, they’re quiet and comfortable to boot. Highly recommended these to anyone looking for an excellent all-around, low profile tire.

...It's relatively easy to now take off ramps at speeds over the posted limits without a single squeal of the tires; they don't even seem fazed...

My first set of Pirelli tires. While not as sporty as a dedicated summer tire with grippy tread, these tires have allowed me to explore the responsiveness and cornering ability of my little Hyundai. It's relatively easy to now take off ramps at speeds over the posted limits without a single squeal of the tires; they don't even seem fazed. With a 70k mile treadlife, I don't intend to drive it spiritedly often, but knowing that I could if the urge strikes me is a benefit. Since I have a dedicated set of winter tires, these won't be seeing snow any time soon, so I anticipate a long life.

...And I won't highlight illegal speeds, but there are several corners nearby, and we'll, I was at least 20 over, and no sign of slippage, solid as a rock. And thats what I expected, and exactly what I got...

I have had Pirellis in the past, and after Michelins I wanted something a little sportier. I know, it's a Corolla, but you know what I mean. And I won't highlight illegal speeds, but there are several corners nearby, and we'll, I was at least 20 over, and no sign of slippage, just solid as a rock. And thats what I expected, and exactly what I got. I can wait to replace the snow tires and put them back on, but I broke my foot and can't drive, and so all I have are memories. Great tires, heartily recommend.

...Much more stable at higher speeds and as I drive I feel far more isolated from the road...

After Nokian WR G4 and Michelin X-ice Snow these are so comfortable! I use these exclusively in warm weather. Much more stable at higher speeds and as I drive I feel far more isolated from the road. Yet somehow these tires take exit ramps and turns without a problem. So far extremely impressed and would highly recommend if you want a comfortable and quiet ride.

...A year in they look like new. Really impressed with the tread wear.

Because my SUV is front wheel drive (i.e. Front tires do all the pulling, steering, and 90% of the braking) I wanted a tire that would hold up. A year in they look like new. Really impressed with the tread wear.

I have 1/4" tread left on the fronts and 5/16" left on the rears... I switched to Pirellis two sets ago because all of the other brands that I tried would wear out too fast considering the heavy weight (4400 lbs) of my vehicle.

I am still pleased with these tires after 5000 miles in a year. I have 1/4" tread left on the fronts and 5/16" left on the rears. The tires are quiet and have provided dry good traction. I haven't noticed and wet traction issues but I do not drive in rain very often.

...Also surprisingly lack of wear considering mileage and driving habits.

Super good bump absorption and great handling tire at the limits, provide good feedback about traction limits. If traction is lost it is easy to regain. Pirelli tires are great! Will likely buy again. Also surprisingly good lack of wear considering mileage and driving habits.
