Bridgestone's Potenza S005 is a high-performance sports tyre that Bridgestone engineered as original equipment for specific high-performance vehicles. It suits drivers of quick hatches, sedans and coupes who want precise steering and stability at speed on sealed roads. We currently offer the S005 online in 225/40R18 and 235/35R19, with the 19-inch size available in both an extra-load version and a BMW-marked version.
An original equipment design
Bridgestone lists the S005 as an original equipment product, which means it was developed to meet a vehicle manufacturer's strict requirements for handling, wet performance and wear life. The BMW-marked 235/35R19 shows it has been approved for BMW fitments, so if your car carries that marking on its current tyres, choosing the marked version keeps it close to the factory specification.
Shaped for stability and wet grip
The key design element is an optimised contact patch, which Bridgestone links to better high-speed stability and wet-road performance. Steering precision is another stated strength, so the car should respond cleanly through quick direction changes. Some S005 sizes also use Bridgestone's Enliten technology, which is designed to cut tyre weight and rolling resistance for better fuel economy.
Checking your fitment
- Match the load index and speed rating on your tyre placard
- Keep the same version across each axle
- Choose the BMW-marked tyre if your car was supplied on one
Extra load (XL) versions are built to carry more weight at a given pressure, so follow the load index on your placard. Use the vehicle or tyre size search on this page to confirm your fitment, then book fitting at your local Bob Jane T-Marts store.
FAQs
Which cars suit the Bridgestone Potenza S005?
The 225/40R18 size suits 18-inch versions of the Volkswagen Golf GTI and the Toyota Corolla ZR hatch. The 235/35R19 size suits the Volkswagen Golf R on 19-inch wheels and the Hyundai i30 N with 19-inch wheels. Sizes vary by model year and grade, so check your tyre placard or ask a store to confirm before ordering.
How much do Bridgestone Potenza S005 tyres cost?
S005 tyres start from around $371 per tyre for the 225/40R18 and go up to about $490 for the BMW-marked 235/35R19. Price depends on size, and current pricing for each size is shown in the listing above. Prices include fitting and balancing.
Is the S005 a sensible choice for daily commuting?
It can be. The S005 is a road tyre designed with wet performance and wear life in mind, so it copes with daily driving in all weather. The trade-off is that it is tuned for sporty handling on low-profile sizes, so the ride is firmer than a comfort-focused touring tyre. If most of your driving is relaxed commuting, a touring tyre may suit you better.
