Spanish heat: test supercars on new tires from Bridgestone
Greetings, dear readers!
Why go to Spain? Swim in the sea, eat, and second, it is banal to fire on a beach or cultural feasting on tours and in museums. All of these options have a right to exist, but not for autoblogger — I went to Spain to test the new Bridgestone tires. And, of course, to talk about them you.
For many, the choice of tires comes down to the option that combines the perfect of its parameters of dimension and minimum price. The absolute opposite — those who bother with when selecting tires, hitting a bunch of tests in various publications and not regret the extra rubles to buy the leaders of these tests. But I bus was going not to buy, as well as time to test, which went to Spain.
My destination point was Circuito Guadix near Granada. The circuit was opened in early 2007 and since then, seriously loaded, despite the fact that the official racing series there not come. Convenient location (near to the residential houses there, so you can work around the clock) and good climate made the track a favorite place for journalistic tests and trials of teams like racing and the factory teams, experiencing a new model.
In short, the circuit, though not the most famous, but the most that neither is combat. And the right tone we were immediately asked standing in the pit lane sports cars — several German coupe Porsche 911 and hot Italian Lamborghini Huracan and the Ferrari 488 GTB. However, no matter how I wanted to immediately jump behind the wheel, first a presentation of new tires and a technical briefing.
All of the journalists were divided into two groups, the first of which went on public roads, and the second on the racetrack. Then we swapped cars and test tires to have the opportunity to evaluate both models Bridgestone. But let's start with the hottest.
What unites Ferrari 488 GTB, Aston Martin DB11, Ferrari f12berlinetta, BMW 8 Series, Ferrari Portofino, Audi RS4 Avant and a number of other models? Tyre Bridgestone Potenza S007A, which are installed on the cars already on the line! As you know, is the flagship product, which uses the most advanced technology and the latest developments, tested by tire manufacturers in motor sports. Otherwise it can not be, because this model of tyres is especially designed for sporty premium cars with powerful engines and owners that are waiting for excellent handling on dry or wet pavement.
To achieve the excellent behavior of the machine, the engineers at Bridgestone Potenza S007A used a new rubber compound, made the tread so that it provides effective connection to the road and at the same time worked to reduce braking distance. Transverse grooves and 3D-M lamellae are responsible for the rigidity of the tyre and the absence of unnecessary strain while driving straight and turning. Thus it was possible simultaneously to achieve greater durability with improved grip properties. Test pilots Bridgestone during factory testing of tyre noted that the BMW 328i with tires Potenza S007A of the circle is 2.4% faster than the same car in the same conditions on the tires Potenza S001 — the precursor of a novelty.
Of course, the figure of 2.4% on the circle may make you laugh, but it is not laughing matter to those who seriously goes to the race track to fight for the best time. In such a situation, the tires mean a lot! The opportunity to test tires from different manufacturers on the same machine and on one track I had, but 4 laps driving the Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini in the different modes of electronic assistants in addition to incredible experiences and gave some food for thought. Namely, that modern road tires latest models are capable of much on the race track. Provided, of course, if you do not expect from them the same tenacity that from sports "slicks". So it can put on your car in Bridgestone Potenza S007A, easy to ride in the rubber around the city and occasionally get out on track days — if you do not fly in the gravel (just keep in mind that any tire has its limits coupling properties!) and to drift, it will serve you these tires for a long time.
As you will please tires Bridgestone Turanza apartment t005 is the second hero of our presentation in Granada. These tires we have experienced already on Spanish mountain roads on the "banal" vehicles Lexus RC, Mercedes C43 AMG, Lexus IS, Lexus LS, Lexus LC. Just because Turanza apartment t005, which replaced Bridgestone Turanza T001 EVO, designed for everyday use on all machines and not just on sports cars.
Interestingly, tire manufacturers, developing this model of rubber, appealed not only to my own experience, but also to the opinion of ordinary drivers. Bridgestone says that it surveyed over 25,000 vehicle owners who have expressed their wishes for new tires. It turned out that most people want to feel the road more safely, to driving fun and ease of use of the tires and in the tires and appreciate their work on the wet coating and wear resistance.
Taking into account these wishes, made in Bridgestone Turanza apartment t005 — bus, which in June 2018 was tested by the experts of the German TÜV SÜD. Test Volkswagen Golf VII, the experts tested the Michelin Primacy tires 4, Continental Premium Contact 5 Continental Premium Contact 6, Good Year Efficient Grip Performance, Pirelli Cinturato P7, and, of course, Bridgestone Turanza apartment t005. Have vyyasnilos that the braking distance Turanza apartment t005 3 feet shorter than the nearest competitor and the side grip when turning significantly better than tyres of other brands.
Again, again, other buses, we didn't have to compare me personally with, and the impression that is not quite correct because of different cars and different conditions in which I rode the tires not-Bridgestone But travel on public roads in Spain without loss and maneuvers on wet pavement on the Chevrolet Camaro, which was prepared in order to test the Turanza apartment t005 in the "acceleration — hard braking with simultaneous rebuild the front of the obstacle" were very significant — high-quality rubber allows you to do this exercise at greater speed and with less risk to get that on the road can help to avoid a serious accident.
Supercars provided by Bridgestone for the test, deserve special attention, and each worthy of its history. But I'll try to be brief and concise to describe driving impressions of each of them. The only thing that will record from in the "cons" of all three cars is that they were all equipped with automatic transmissions. After all, to fully feel the test car of such class is possible only if the Central tunnel there is a lever 8-speed mechanics. I was convinced several times, including recently at Moscow Raceway
All-wheel drive Porsche Carrera S — perfect for travelers with high-speed track Circuito Guadix. With him, perhaps, and get started! Inside 911 the most intuitive and easy to "read car". Here a moderate amount of expensive materials and practically nothing shouts about a sports character. In slow corners the 911 shows the habits of rear-wheel drive car, throwing the point forward only as needed. Surprised by the softness of the suspension on 20's rims with low profile Bridgestone. Mentally ready for hard blows to the body, but adaptive suspension eliminates all accidental exits on the side of the track. Comfortable and fast! This luxury car is perfect for daily summer walks.
Demons! Sealed some buttons :)
Lamborghini Huracan – the most fierce car of the three. 5.2 V10 without turbines — extremely atmospheric and wild unit! Enabled ESP he is very obedient as a child, and without any surprises allows taxied to the sharp turns of the track, demonstrating a perfect balance between a Ferrari and a Porsche in the rigidity of the chassis tuning. Huracan endowed with an interesting, but at the same time, practical interior design, to understand the bodies of control is difficult, but it takes a few minutes. For my height (185cm), he is a bit tight.
Ferrari 488 GTB maximum neergonomichnyh car. Button steklopaketov to find was not immediately apparent. BUTTON turn signals — even unusual story for any car, and these controls are implemented that way. Guess how to turn on the wipers? That's right — as well as turn signals. Unusual and illogical everything, including the logic of shifting the seven-speed robot... But going V8 3.9 liters Biturbo! To describe it in words is impossible. But I can say for sure that is dominated by the feeling of flying! Feel, the Ferrari is the fastest of all supercars. 100km/h in 3 seconds and switch double disc robot Getrag very delicate, despite the initial kick up the backside at the start.
Answering the most common question — which car is better from these three? — I can say that they are all equal and each has its pros that cons with a vengeance, but I would have preferred the awkward, hard, explosive Ferrari 488 GTB
Don't know were you convinced me, but after the real experience in "combat" conditions with new Japanese tires, the opinion I have formed is simple — to save on tire costs, because on-road car hold only four very small piece of rubber and their importance cannot be overstated. But that's my opinion, and by what criteria choose the tires you?
I really hope that this material You liked it!
Thank you all and see you soon.

Apart from Michelin this test is difficult to perceive...
Michelin Pilot Super Sport is an analogue of these tires

So he also says that it is for pasadnea tires. Potency do rubber stamping comes with an index of RE, and not S. Who once drove on Potenza RE tires in this class not even look to be).
And this 007 the usual junk, for the inexperienced drivers.
I would not dare. They have been good tires RE01R, 11, 070, but we have not been delivered.
I quote "the figure of 2.4% on the circle may make you laugh, but it is not laughing matter to those who seriously goes to the race track to fight for the best time." next "So it can put on your car in Bridgestone Potenza S007A, easy to ride in the rubber around the city and occasionally get out on track days" . Of course, if "easy" to ride on the track — I think that's the one. But I would not dare, if she is so unpredictable on the road leads...

Sorry for the tediousness, but Bridgestone Potenza S007A can and good tires, but definitely not for track. Even on a public road in an s shaped bundle, quite civil speeds, can happen unexpected failure of the rear axle. The result on the photo.
One thing is not clear — how does the "test of the Lambo on the track" everyday operation on any thread Renault Logan )
Or is it all rubber for the track?
In my opinion too far from reality advertising)
Damn, I'm on track tires went 300+ .
Honestly brad, more track = less speed . Many such tires went ?
It is not for the track. It's just for speeds over 300. So its on sports betting. More "track" tires will be less speed
Not ocelli text, but the pictures of the norms, who should be so invited a car ride?
And the conclusions? Well, at least the ride experience on Odnoklassniki (the tires)? I understand that the track here in vain Orgy dragged, rather for status, because these tires are not even a uhp, and, therefore, on the track they do nothing. That is just the type of sport tires, the sport does not have any relationship. Tire is completely urban, not better than pilot sport. The same RE003 from the same Bridge will be head and shoulders above. And here is a Lambo I ask...
Against scrap no reception! (C) I understand that this is Your strategy, but the fight with the trolls I do not intend to))))
Where You have seen the word "review"? To paint in detail, you need to drive on the tires for at least a season, and You well know how that shit in the comments - very funny occupation that does not require much intelligence.
Article — illiterate nonsense. This is not a review of the rubber, and essay grader how I spent my summer.
Great for what? From a total slag? Possible. It does not even make the size of the premium segment for one reason: it does not withstand any serious test. Roll through the village cart — come.
Watching a Matador summer — great tires. I'm not saying that he premium. Premium Conti is the eponymous.
Adrenaline is almost Turanza. Never premium. Rubber shit. If only the Kia Rio to hang it... and coordinates Chinese and matadors — it's not budget, and nischebrodskie options.
With regards to the Vikings: my Touareg and ку5 wife викинг6. Blizzak, to be honest still the standard.
The Velcro will not argue, only tests with the Vikings didn't see them. And the adrenaline is nifiga not budget... Budget — Chinese Cordiant, the matadors...

I think only you can reverse. In any case, in winter, bridge — especially studded, 5000, 7000, the second more or less, but 5000 is such a slag... For the summer, on the contrary they have Т001, S001, Potenza Adrenaline, etc.
Bridge is a leader in stickers. And the adrenaline is budgetary slag.
In the rain, they also so-so, and if a bit freeze asphalt — the story) and in turns they lay down sideways.

Sports car-newporter essentially no difference, and good summer tires also safety. I chose this Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 — quiet, soft, excellent in rain, on asphalt, brakes also good, but they are purely road — on the grass and in the dirt is not necessary to climb)
Was at Rio Yokohama Advan A460 — noisy, hard, strong and durable just.
And cheap — good Matador) To Chinese regarded with apprehension.
One of the main qualities of summer tyres is aquaplaning, the behavior on wet pavement.
well, because it is therefore durable that the material of high hardness) There is the softer, the faster the dividing wheel, and each driver must understand that he is comfortable and what is not. For me, the Yokoham line's Advan very suitable, empirically came to her, and the noise is not an indicator of quality or nekazista
I got to Rio — German, year 4 rolls, though the mileage is small, but the Rated — the Russian issue — loaded and 1 ton, no problem. Season 3 has already skated in a year so about 15-20 km, of which, of course half or more in the winter, but still. On my car the rubber eats more gravel than asphalt)
Hankooki Optimo к415 sold after 3 years, they even probed the stone and punch. And over time, begins to descend. New is new. Gazelle wanted to buy a Chinese — talked, recommended Kamu 301, and is really the best for your size truck tires and the best Kama.
Toyota my native size 175/65/14, what is the car, not the vans — 165/80/13 chtoli... and at first I put 185/70/14, then the undercarriage size — 185/65/15 — in this dimension and on the rubber a relatively reasonable price. Then take 3075р./PCs
The winter took about a year ago at 4000R./PCs Continental ContiIceContact 2. And before she even took the winter of the same company, but the previous model and would not sell. Ride in the offseason, though, and the spikes very small. There size 175/70/14 — also at the time gave thousands of 13-14 and still casting, it is a pity to sell for 10 thousand along with the discs. And studded longer like.
And Mercedes, for example, when 19-x on the 17th passed, too normal rubber with low value was not in the dimension 235/60/17 for the summer... was good for 12 Tr, it was possible for so many and 19th to take. So I found the bagels 235/65/17 at 8T. R./EA. Tires b/y is practically not considered. The first year they took on the Toyota b/y with stamping for 6T. p. and a couple of seasons skated, then a dead rubber for 2500 sold) but in the second season narrowly escaped a few accidents... the Car is 7 years in my possession.
Yes, would be years.Bridge summer safety all right. About the Chinese not dangerous, but be wary of otech., where economists are Democrats who create the product-lottery/quality.
Conti's are good tires, but that we have used in technology grew. and Belarusian.metal.cord. There is no marks on the tires, or her party, from any manufacturer cord inside. I'm afraid of running into ROS.

I have no car, nowhere for me this year. But security in the winter. 7000 — not bad, but mostly I use Blizzak friction and spikes is not necessary.

Liked the description, all on the "shelf" and dopom about cars, I will gladly finish it.
Whenever possible during winters.Bridge at the summer saving etc. brands. And better to buy it in secret from his wife, to her nervous system not dinamia fluctuations in the tranquility of nature. Rubber is excellent, but the price — ecomfort.
Now, I wonder if they've improved the speed S0007 2.4%, then swoop in%, the price rose from S001 ?

I think that in light of recent events — we're certain imports not normally see = only Asiatic...((((
Promise that the price tag rise is not much. I could be wrong, but as far as I remember it during the conference was about 3-5%

Solid advertising post. The tread patterns are not disclosed. "Those who are working on the tests." in size 3-4 for such a car manufacturer, among which is sure to be Pirelli and Michelin, continental and maybe someone else, who this time is Mostkamen'. If you don't have a car, then put PSS on your sedan it makes no sense to turn it will not start, but will start to shake on the bumps. In the end advertising post about anything.
I think that had more to Supplement the text figures in comparison with competitors. Plus, at least the protector to take pictures. And so, as a whole, a pleasure to read. Machine for dough of course fire. I don't!
That is why in all tests, Michelin competes only with continental and they share first place from test to test? Pirelli's hanging out there somewhere, and breeches all in the ass?
For me, there are only three manufacturer in the world — Michelin, Bridgestone and Pirelli. I personally squeezer on nseh them for myself stopped on the line — Michelin Pilot Sport. top sticky.
Pleased with the list of "trivial" machines to test Turanzы. If you have a machine as in the test and for everyday and for going on track days, then at least you have a formed attitude which options are important to you. For each driver will be their "favorite" tires. But in real life usually choose is always a compromise and that will certainly not 3.4% on the circle, and the price-performance-service life
If on track, they are heavy.
And if on public roads, then the most it!
And don't wear down as fast as others.
So it is not clear where the balance. And took breeches because neprobivaemosti and stick — it is present in full
For a hard side we love bridge )
And the weight is just a consequence of its strength )
There were two different cars on new adrenalina. All rubber is good, but there is one big disadvantage — its weight, which actually turns out of her bullet-proof cords. Next summer I will be testing Michelin.
Aaaahhhh who decided to burn... I don't know) You are an adequate person? From a purely technical point of view the automatic can be considered to be any transmission control which does not require intervention from the driver. With regards to design and options "automatic"- that's another conversation which I also understand. What are You currently writing rules/terminology came up and what You see for certain the word... Honest?- I have purple)
Do not try to burn me with a sharp word.
Just examine the difference between the box with torque Converter, which is called the automatic and sequential gearbox with the clutch servo.
They are different and they should be distinguished, and not to hinder all in a heap. In serious publications, the authors are aware of this and write accordingly, and for blogista useful.
Are you by chance from the show "Battle of psychics" to me descended? How were able to determine what type of box hidden under the word "automatic"?
