Bridgestone tyres for my RS6.....any reviews?

Post by BUBONS » Tue Nov 22, 2016 5:30 pm

Hello gents!

I am a relatively new owner of a 2009 RS6 and its time to get a new set of tyres. It seems that most guys swear by the Michelin Pilot super sports, but I have been recommended Bridgestone Potenza S001 XL's. Has anyone had these and if so what is your experience? Any info is much appreciated!

Well if he's over 18 then he may still be going through our Friday thread. I'm sure even bam_bam stalls at a few pages on that thread for some relief.

The only reason bam would stall is to search for dicks.

You tell him from me that THAI ho's are tighter and sometimes he'll get twice the fun. Just warn him to always face his subject else he might get rear ended. Mind you he'll quite like that.
