Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Sport

With sport tyres, grip in every situation is what decides — under hard acceleration, under braking, in the dry and in the wet. Bridgestone POTENZA SPORT belongs to this group. Stability at higher speeds and precision through corners come on top of that. One thing drivers often underestimate when buying: grip comes from a softer compound, and a softer compound wears faster. Where a standard tyre covers roughly 40,000 km, a sport tyre manages about 20,000 to 30,000 km — and considerably less with a sharper driving style or a heavier, more powerful car.

<p>Fantastic tyres, totally transformed the performance and handling of my Mazda MX5</p>

★★★☆☆

<p>These were the Enliten R01 updated Audi version</p><p>The original Potenza Sport were not suitable for track days as they disintegrated with heat. Bridgestone claimed to have addressed this and increased longevity with Enliten technology. However, I can confirm they have not. The tyres cracked and chunked badly after 4 15 minute sessions with 30 mins cool down in between. (Still) don't use them on track! On the road they are fine.</p>

★★★★☆

<p>Incredible dry grip, very sharp steering response especially on center that can make an average steering rack feel sporty. On a FWD car, the front tires are so planted and "manic" that the rear tires will sometimes break loose, which is a fun quality but a little unpredictable. Insane grip in the wet and will communicate with you when it's about to let go, which makes it very confidence inspiring. Even at 2-3/32 tread I am able to do 70-80 mph in pouring rain. Comfort is fine but the tires get loud as they wear out. Lasted 26000 miles on a ~300 hp Honda Accord 2.0T that saw about 100 launches and 5 canyon runs. Could've done 30000 easily if I was more diligent about tire rotations.</p>

Fiat Abarth Grande Punto · 215/45 R17 · 3 219 km
★★★★★

I tend to drive my Grande Punto Abarth rather spiritedly mostly on B roads. I replaced some elderly Goodyear Eagles with these Bridgestone simply from reading reviews. They are excellent - even better than the Eagles. I guess if I had a niggle it is that performance tends to drop off a little bit below about 6 or 7 degrees (Celsius) but as I have winter tyres this isn't a major problem. The Eagles were a smidgen better at cold temps but I cannot really find a weakness at all in these Potenza Sports.

★★★☆☆

These tyres have given me a real mix of emotions to drive they are simply brilliant both in the wet and in the dry, would say some of the best tyres I have used.
But here come the big BUT, they crack and show wear at such a rapid rate, I know they are a performance tyre and I expect a higher wear rate, but to have to replace after 2 years and less than 5000 miles due to cracking is not what I would expect, simple advice is avoid as I will be doing with all Bridgestone products until I hear of improved longevity!
