Bridgestone Potenza S001
EU tyre label for every size: 56 sizes of this summer tyre compared with the rest of the market
The Bridgestone Potenza S001 is a summer tyre for passenger cars. Its supplier has registered it in the EU product database (EPREL) in 56 sizes (260 registrations including load and speed variants), for 15″ to 20″ rims.
Wet grip is rated A–D depending on size, fuel efficiency A–E and external rolling noise 67–73 dB.
The label depends on the size. Sorted by wet grip, then fuel efficiency, then noise, the best-labelled size on sale is 245/50 R18 (Wet grip A · Fuel efficiency C · 69 dB), the weakest 305/30 ZR20 (Wet grip D · Fuel efficiency E · 73 dB).
On the EU market since May 2010; the earliest production week registered is 18/2010.
How it compares in its sizes
We compared each size with all other summer tyres of the same size and class in EPREL (54 sizes had at least four rivals). A size scores when its label is at least as good as 75% of them.
What the label means on the road (185/55 R15)
Example: the 185/55 R15 size, compared with the 641 other summer tyres registered in this size.
Wet braking from 80 km/h
≈41 m with wet grip class C, the most common class in this size.
Fuel efficiency
Class D, the most common class in this size: no difference to the typical tyre.
Rolling noise
67 dB against a median of 70 dB in this size (3 dB quieter).
Estimates from the class ranges in Regulation (EU) 2020/740. A label class is a range, so a real tyre can sit anywhere inside it. Every 3 dB doubles the sound energy.
All 56 sizes
The small figure under each class is the share of same-size, same-season tyres this size matches or beats (“–” when fewer than five tyres share the size).

Questions
Is the Bridgestone Potenza S001 a quiet tyre?
Its declared rolling noise ranges from 67 dB to 73 dB (median 71 dB). In 44% of the sizes we could compare, it is at least as quiet as three quarters of same-size rivals.
How good is the Bridgestone Potenza S001 in the wet?
Its wet grip class is A–D. In 41% of compared sizes that is at least as good as three quarters of same-size rivals.
Is the Bridgestone Potenza S001 suitable for snow?
No size carries the 3PMSF symbol, so it is not certified for severe snow. In countries with winter tyre rules it does not count as a winter tyre.
When was the Bridgestone Potenza S001 launched?
It has been on the EU market since May 2010. The earliest production week in its registrations is 18/2010; the DOT code on the sidewall shows the week and year of your tyre.
