Two scoring systems, side by side

Owner scores come from reviews found online; road-test scores come from instrumented tests. Where they disagree, it is usually a discipline owners rarely push to the limit.

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 11 owner reviews found online.

The Bridgestone Potenza S007A is widely praised for its exceptional dry grip, stiff sidewalls, and sharp steering response, making it a strong contender for spirited driving and track use. However, users frequently note compromises in wet-weather performance, aquaplaning resistance, and lower-temperature traction, alongside relatively rapid tread wear.

Pros

Exceptional dry grip and high-speed cornering stability
Stiff sidewalls providing precise steering response and excellent feedback
Strong track-day performance with improved lap times compared to predecessor models
Good value relative to competitors like Michelin Pilot Sport series

Cons

Subpar wet weather traction and aquaplaning resistance, especially when pushed
Poor performance and sliding tendencies in colder temperatures
Fast tread wear under aggressive driving conditions
Firmer, less comfortable ride quality compared to some rivals

Worth knowing

Drivers with high-torque rear-wheel-drive vehicles reported significant traction loss and wheelspin during wet conditions or cold starts.
Users tracking lightweight sports cars, such as a 280-bhp Subaru GC8, noted substantial lap time improvements and good heat management.
