Quality of tyre is good

Installed on Subaru Legacy


Great service from the tyre shop. Been going to this shop for the last 20 years. S001 tyres are very difficult to source. Waiting time is very long. Quality of tyre is good.

2nd purchase of this tyre

Installed on Ford Mondeo


This is my 2nd set of S001s. Been using Bridgestone performance tires all these years. Love the firm grip and good performance on both wet and dry days. No compromise.

Good but little pricey

Installed on Infiniti Q50


Good set of tyres. Except a little pricey compared with competitors. Performance up to expectations in dry and wet conditions. Ride comfort is good, cornering stable.

The water cutter

Installed on Volkswagen Passat


There is certainly no question ask whether if the S001 would perform well in either the wet or in the dry, it actually performs just as well or surpassing any other performance tyre would offer.

What I like
The design The wet performance

What I do not like
The noise

Tyre brand that can be trusted!

Installed on Mitsubishi Evolution


Try this set of tyres on my car. I had no issues with regards to grip in the dry or wet road, when used as fast road tyres. I found these tyres to be very responsive. The tyres are very predictable at their limits and found that I could keep control of the vehicle easily and considering the performance and price of these tyres, I will definitely buy these again, and would recommend them to any owner who are looking for good performance tyres.

What I like
The nice handling of my car.

What I do not like
Thread-life. It wears off faster.

Have used these tyres and lasted for 2 years plus. The grip is really good and sidewall is strong. It is stable when taking corners and works well in wet weather. However, the tyres start making noise after plus.

What I like
Durable Made in Japan Good grip Harder sidewall Lasted more than 2 years

What I do not like
Noise after 1 year
