How scores work
- Relative score
- 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
- Road tests
- 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
- Owner reviews
- 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

The Bridgestone Potenza S007 elicits sharply polarized feedback from users, serving as either a high-performing ultra-high-performance summer tire or a deeply disappointing option depending on application. While drivers utilizing them on high-horsepower sports cars and track days praise their exceptional dry grip and handling, others report severe safety concerns regarding wet weather performance and alarmingly rapid tread wear.
Pros
- Exceptional dry grip and traction under heavy acceleration and high horsepower
- Precise handling and cornering stability in warm weather
- Suitable for occasional track use and aggressive driving
- Good aesthetic appearance and comfortable ride quality on specific low-profile fitments
Cons
- Poor wet weather performance, with multiple reports of severe aquaplaning and lack of confidence on damp roads
- Rapid and premature tread wear, with some users experiencing wear out in under 10,000 miles
- Stiff ride quality and noticeable road noise on rough surfaces
- Susceptibility to tram-lining due to wider profiles
Worth knowing
- Bridgestone technical support reportedly indicated that the tire is specifically engineered for heavy, ultra-high-performance applications like the Series 8, resulting in premature wear when fitted to lighter or standard executive sedans like the BMW 5 Series.
- Users running staggered setups on high-horsepower manual cars (e.g., 450+ RWHP) experienced excellent hook and dry traction when pressures were optimized around 30 psi in warm weather.
- Factory OEM fitments on performance hatchbacks and sport sedans like the Renault Megane RS and Audi RS4 yielded mixed daily-driving comfort due to stiff sidewalls, though track enthusiasts appreciated the responsive chassis feedback.
