Potenza SportHigh-performance sport tire review: is it good, who is it for

Yes, if you want a sport tire focused on grip and control. Bridgestone launched the Potenza Sport in Thailand as its flagship in 2022. It grips well on both dry and wet roads and was chosen as the factory-fitted tire on the Lamborghini Huracan STO, Maserati MC20 and BMW 8 Series.

The Potenza Sport EVO is the newer model. Bridgestone Thailand says the EVO stops 5% shorter on wet roads and 2% shorter on dry roads and lasts 15% longer than the Potenza Sport. It is also EV Ready and comes in sizes up to 22 inch.

The Potenza Sport is the newer model. The UK's evo magazine reported that Bridgestone launched the Potenza Sport to replace the Potenza S001, using Virtual Tire Development and a new tread pattern, compound and construction.

High-performance sports and premium cars on 18–21 inch tires. Examples of cars that use it as original equipment are the Lamborghini Huracan STO, Maserati MC20 and BMW 8 Series.

Bridgestone Europe says the Potenza Sport is developed and made in Europe. Bridgestone is a Japanese brand founded in 1931 in Kurume. The country of manufacture of each tire is shown on the sidewall.

Mostly 300 under the US UTQG rating (300 AA A); some sizes are 300 A A, 320 A A or 200 A A. The treadwear number is a rough way to compare tread life between models, not the actual distance a tire will last.

Yes. Bridgestone says the Potenza Sport's estimated tread life is 10% better than the S001, based on internal testing at Bridgestone's technical center in Europe on an Audi A4 in size 245/40R18.

Very well. Germany's ADAC tested it in 2025 in size 225/40 R18 and rated it “gut” (good) with a score of 1.9, 2nd of 18. It was very strong on dry roads and among the best on wet roads, but only fair on environmental performance because it is heavier and uses more fuel. Auto Bild tested it in 2024 in size 225/55 R17 and gave it 1.4, tied 1st of 10, praising its wet handling and short braking distances but noting slightly higher tire noise. Both tests used European-market sizes.
