What kind of mileage is everyone getting out of their Bridgestone Potenza S001 summer performance tires?

I just hit about 22,500 miles on my rear wheel drive 435i with the staggered tires. Front tires are shot, but the rear tires don't seem nearly as worn.

I was able to get about 30,000 miles out of my S001. Same setup - staggered.

Front tires were shot.

Almost 20K miles on my vehicle. Front and rear tires remain in excellent condition. I will replace them at 25K miles regardless. Despite being RFT, I like Potenza S001 tires. The road noise does not bother me.

[s58.bill]

16k miles so far on staggered setup. Probably can get another 10k out of it.

[x5mad]

58,000 km and will need changing soon.

[ICTZHP]

36,5xx miles, will be changing soon.

I literally came here today to ask a similar question.

I just hit 30,000 miles. This is with about 15K on the summer tires since I have dedicated winter tires.

Front tires are becoming shot, rear tires look great. Brought it to the dealer because of subtle pulling, and they agreed front tires are nearly worn (put out a caution, but not an ASAP replace). They recommended replacement, but I'm wary to put the same ones on!


Only difference is that I have xDrive.

All input is appreciated.

Removed mine after 10 miles

Any updates on tire choices? I'm still apprehensive about doing a non RFT but overall I think options are pretty limited.

I'm steering clear of the pilot super sports since it seems like you can't find replacements anywhere.

I sold my S001 as they were crap.

I bought Continentals DWS and they were absolutely great. I gained a huge fuel mileage boost (went from 7.7-8.0L/100KM to 6.7-7.0L/100KM highway) and quiet, comfortable as hell.

I've put about probably close to 30,000 miles on them, and still have about 75-80% tread left.

I believe they updated the DWS to DWS06 now, and they're even better.

And just keep fix a flat, or a spare?

TBH, I don't even have a spare or fix a flat. (Though I really should) but yes.

I'm was going to sell my 19s and buy a set of 18s +1 spare just incase and run square set all around.

Do some doughnuts, burn some rubber, get better tires

Or you can just get 1 extra front rim for the 19s as your spare. You can always put the narrower front rim on the back as a donut until the wider one is fixed.

yeah, the thing is, the 19's (403M) weight about 30lbs each, and 18's (400M) weights about 24lbs each.

That's way too heavy. One of the best mods to do to your car is to reduce rotational mass.

Just ordered a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Should be able to get them on the car next week.

There is another option available. Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP (for Zero Pressure). Best of both worlds. Have anybody tried?

I have the S001s too and I think that I will change for Michelin (Pilot Sport Cup 2 on the front, Pilot Super Sport on the rear)...

Cheers...

That is a great tire from what I have researched and the best combo of performance and runflat technology you will find, but unfortunately extremely limited sizes:

P245/40ZR18 (93Y)

P245/35ZR19 (89Y)
P285/30ZR19 (94Y)
P285/35ZR19 (99Y)

P285/30ZR20 (95Y)
P335/25ZR20 (99Y)

I guess one can do a 245/35/19 square setup with these, but I worry the aspect ratio would be too small, risk damaging the rims?

Anyway, I'm thinking about getting rid of my Potenzas after only 1500 miles, they are too noisy. Thinking about the PSS.

A square setup with 245/35-19 would fit fine on F30. The sidewall is only 3 mm shorter than for OEM 255/35-19.

But on the other hand 245/40-19 would have given 9 mm extra sidewall height compared to OEM size.

I plan on getting a set of 19s and will most likely go with MPSS is OEM sizes 225/40 and 255/35. I have xdrive and am on a lease so I just want to make sure I don't give myself any issues with different sizing.

Really am torn between these and going with Potenza runflats because my wife drives the car with our kids and hate the fact she would have no spare. Very annoying.

So I have OEM 19s with these sizes. Not a fan of the Potenzas though... too noisy. Handling is actually not that bad, at least not for my driving.
