Bridgestone Potenza Sport review

“Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo - quick initial review - 250 miles Very early impression on this newly released update, used as a track tyre on my modded MX-5 done about 50 laps at Bedford Autodrome GT layout, 8-15C air temp, as well as to and from the track. Fun track tyres, great handling feedback and direct steering feel, plenty of grip when push and stable through corner. Confident under heavy braking. Track performance much improved overall compared to the PS4 previously which was quite snappy at limit. Not driven in the wet yet so cannot comment on wet performance. Not driven enough to comment on wear but seems decent after 50 laps/250 miles Road noise is louder, and side wall is stiffer compared to PS4, maybe by ~10%. Would recommend, especially if you can get them on a deal. I paid £330 for 4 corners fitted. Size was 225/45/17. The side wall is quite pretty too if you care for this. Read more”

“Bridgestone Potenza Sport Anybody running potenza sports? My rear right tire inside sidewall got shredded suddenly at highway speed (85+ mph). Fortunately I did not lose control and was able to move the car to a nearby school parking lot with a spare. Ordered a set of DWS06+ and they should be delivered tomorrow. The tires are a little more than 4 years old and had about 12k miles on them. Kind of bummed at the situation, but this could’ve been much worse. Are potenza sports generally that bad? Read more”

“Bridgestone potenza sport after 2 years Lots of haircracks in my potenza sports that I bought 2 years ago. The DOT is week 16 of 2021. Is this normal? Driven approximately 25000 kms with these tyres. Only the rear tyres show these marks is this normal? The fronts of the same age and kms look fine Size: 245/35/18 Read more”

“I’ve been running the Potenza Sport for the past 2 years during the warm months here in CO on my G37, and they’ve been great. In my experience they worsen my mpg by 3 mpg (depends how I’m driving) and they’ve worn extremely well considering I have -2.5 degrees of camber. I will say the best part is the steering response, it makes my heavy G37 feel way lighter with how good the steering response is and I feel way more confident under braking and cornering in the canyons.”

“I love Michelins Pilot Sports, but I had a blowout today with my BMW, and no one had them in stock. I am NOT a fan of Firestone. Repeat: NOT One of my few choices that were available today were the new Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS. I was hesitant, but I must say, these are great tires. Maybe as good as the Pilot Sports. I love Pilot sports, so that’s saying something. They’re nothing like Firestones.”

“Also following this, being a UK trackday-er. I had the original potenza sport a few years back and they lasted just a couple of sessions in the morning at Bedford autodrome before completely disintegrating. Never seen anything like it. Car was gt86 . Didn't like the cs7, very capable especially in the wet but slightly rubbery feeling at the limit compared to others. Didn't agree with Evo magazine's review at all Potenza sport evo is what I have my eye on next!”
