Bridgestone Potenza S04 Pole Position Tire Review

Hotrodz · 02-19-2014, 07:59 PM

I have the same setup as the OP and going on about 4,000 miles. They have held up well. The last 1,500 miles I have been boosted and they are not bad. From what I can tell from those that are boosted you are not going to get much real traction on any set of tires after about 5,000 miles if you like to burn rubber. IMHO I think if you are going to DD boosted, it's not worth the extra cash for an R rated tire. I can replace a lot of SO4s at a minimum of $100 less per tire, especially if I'm only replacing the rears mostly.

I think it's misleading to anyone who looks into these tires

I just AutoX a few weeks ago in the rain and I had trouble finding the limit because there was just so much grip I did not know when it would end. LOL S04 FTW

You can buy a spare rear set for the track with the money you save buying the Bridgestone S04 Pole Position Potenza over the Michilen PSS! What a long *** name LOL S04 FTW!
