Tyre reviews Bridgestone Potenza RE040. Page 2 286

It's an awful tyre! You shouldn't even think about buying it! It floats in the water, it makes a noise, it disappears on dust, only not where you need it to! There is almost no grip, not even on a straight road! Everything in a trail... In the turns you need to slow down, otherwise you'll drive somewhere... And it's a "sport" tyre...

These tires are only fine in dry conditions. When it gets wet you will immediately feel less grip. And don't even get me started on snow, one time I lost my car completely at 10 km/h, damn!

Gripped really well on dry, but that's the only positive! Won't last long, very disappointed with the cut time it took.

Good tire, but once it has a few 10000km, it's not so good... If not, it's a great tire for RWD cars.

They wear well enough, considering the soft tire compound, very good on dry roads, a bit slippery on wet roads, though.. but hey, all for the fun of it!

Over one season, three punctures and one blown tire - I think that sums up how great this tire is.
