The Potenza Sport AS is Bridgestone's Ultra High Performance All-Season tire engineered for drivers of sportscars, coupes and performance sedans looking for high-speed potential and predictable handling in dry and wet conditions combined with confident performance throughout the year, even in light snow.

Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS Callouts

Bridgestone's Potenza Sport AS molds a new all-season compound into an asymmetric tread pattern for improved performance in a myriad of weather conditions while still aiming to improve on the ride quality drivers expect. The solid circumferential rib design enhances handling through continuous contact with the road surface, while reducing distracting pattern noise for smooth, quiet rides in sunny weather. In wet conditions, the Potenza Sport AS was designed with channels aligned to the shoulder blocks to provide efficient water evacuation from the contact patch to maintain control and resist hydroplaning. The Full-Depth 3-D Sipes molded into each tread block significantly enhance block rigidity over traditional sipes for optimal handling while still providing the grip and biting edges necessary for navigation in wet and light snow conditions.

Internally, the Potenza Sport AS is constructed of dual polyester body plies extended into a high turn-up sidewall for additional strength to balance handling response and ride comfort. Twin steel belts are reinforced by a spirally wound, nylon wrap for high-speed capability.

These tire have great wet traction and predictable dry traction...

These tire have great wet traction and predictable dry traction. My driving is generally pretty spirited as I live in middle Tennessee with plenty of great roads. However they did not last very long. I’ve put about 20,000 miles on them and they are pretty much done. They did outlast the continental dws 06 plus tires I previously had. They performed better than the contis for longer and as such I could recommend. Just know that longevity probably won’t be the best

...Snow performance also exceeded my expectations, passing AWD vehicles in heavy snow is quite impressive!...

Honestly extremely impressed with how they perform as all seasons. Of course it''s not a 200TW, but man they stick way better than I would''ve thought. Predictable and steady while cornering. Treadwear has worn evenly and at a steady pace considering how they''re driven on. Snow performance also exceeded my expectations, passing AWD vehicles in heavy snow is quite impressive! I am pretty sure they have a decent warranty as well on top of all that. Bridgestone tires will be on my car for both the track and the street!

I’ve been running them on my BMW X3 for over a year in the upper Midwest. Pro’s: Grippy in all conditions - including snow. No complaints in that department. So far they’ve been wearing evenly/well with regular tire rotations. Con’s. Noisy at highway speeds. Your steering will be much more sensitive (annoyingly so) for a long time until they thoroughly break in. My gas mileage decreased by 10% over the Michellins I was running before.

I am surprised by how well this tire performed when we have the blizzard the next day we installed the tire. I seen a half dozen car on the ditch during the blizzard and the potenza has very good traction.

Excellent dry traction and wet traction. Responsive and tracks extremely straight. Very predictable and linear in transition.

Excellent dry and wet traction.
Responsive and tracks extremely straight.
Very predictable and linear in transition.
Low speed ride is harsh compared to previous Pirelli A/S plus. Smooths out at highway speeds.
Also, very quiet at highway speeds, where it matters most as Jetta Sport is a bit low on sound deadening.
