Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 

Bridgestone Potenza Sports ▸ Summer Time's Wet Dream. 💦🛞

Potenza Sports are absolute monsters on the track, especially in conditions where most tires fold. I guess if you live in a warm-summer Mediterranean climate in Italy literally named: Potenza, where they have dry summers & only wet winters— we'd probably come up w/ a tire that asks, "WTF is snow?", but if we asked, "Wet handling?" 🌊🤌🏼

These Tires Speak the Language of Rain. The uni-directional tread pattern shoot waters like a fire hose, letting you glide through puddles w/o hesitation, and float like baby ----- above water. Braking grip in the wet is terrifyingly stable—no aquaplaning, zero drama. I’ve lapped tracks in 40mm downpours & still felt like the road was paved with glue once they warmed up. Michelin PS4S can’t touch them in this category—Potenzas are at least a full rating class above in wet grip. The soaking wet reality, lb for lb— Potenzas > all Summer performance tires for wet conditions.

Dry Performance? They’re still sharp w/ excellent steering feedback & predictable limits. They bite so aggressively that you can feel the rubber burning at 50°C track temps, and they hold their composure longer than most. The dry grip isn’t elite (10/10) for summer tires, but for a tire that dominates like this in rain, it’s a fair trade.

Track Versatility & Heat Resistance? Check ✅ Tread life? Yeah, it’s not Michelin levels of durability that's for sure, but whether you’re track-daying on a broiling Saturday or hammering through sleet, these tires STAY CONSISTENT. They warm up quickly & never release grip under intense load—until the rubber’s smoked, anyway.

Bottom Line ▸ If you want track-ready wet mastery, these are it.Dry-focused drivers? Go for a dedicated summer tire. But If your heart races when it rains & you crave precision under pressure try 'em out, cause these are the only summer tires that’ll make you look back all those cloudy days & wonder— how you ever hated driving in the rain. 🚗🌧️

Tires are grippy and responsive. Feels like a tire in the 200tw range instead of the 300tw range. Great in the rain. Happy with my purchase.

I love driving my car with these tires, especially on the curvy roads and sharp corners on my way to work! No matter how fast I take turns or how hard I accelerate, these tires haven't broken traction. They've been really good in wet conditions as well. In short, they perform the way I would expect from a summer performance tire. Driving has been so much fun with them and I miss them already. Sadly, I've had to put on the snow tires, so I was only able to put 250 miles on them before I put them away for the winter. I bought them to replace my Bridgestone Potenza S4 Pole Positions, and these certainly don't disappoint! I got a good price for them with the instant rebate ($110 of a set of 4 tires), which was a bonus. I can't speak to how they wear, since I didn't put many miles on them. If they're anything like my old ones, I'll get maybe 6 seasons out of them.

As performance tires for a sportscar, these have been flawless. Fine ride quality, very predictable responsiveness/handling, and almost endless grip in dry conditions. I would consider these a better choice, for spirited driving, than the Michelin PS4S (which is older, but very highly rated). These Potenza Sports remind me of the old S-O2 tires (for folks who remember those). This is just a modern equivalent, with the outright grip of an RA-1. Really great performance tire for the street. I have not tried them on the track yet.

this Bridgestone PS tire is Excellent on Dry and is one of the best tire I used so far, on Wet they are amazing as well, the tire Grip is awesome, sometime I drive aggressive on turns & cornering and this tire have no problem keeping up with no flexing on tire wall period, so far upgrade done to my car is KYB sport struts & shocks, Cusco F & R sway bar everything keep the car flat on during any turns, upgrade Dixcel type-M brake pad & high carbon cryo rotors F & R for better braking power if needed stop asap, just make sure nobody is behind that's all, the comb of WebsSport TC105X rim + Bps tire weight at 29lb, I believe current set up now can keep up with a Porsche on all turns on track, only thing weak now is oem springs and will upgrade to Bilstein B14 or Ohlins suspension in the near future, the tire noise is a bit louder then I would like on high way driving, as for tire wear is so far so good

Replaced original Pirelli P Zeros with Bridgestone Potenza Sport. The Bridgestones have lasted twice as long as the P Zeros did. Cornering grip not as good with Bridgestones, but much, much less road noise. I was willing to give up a little performance for much greater comfort. I just ordered a new set again.

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport are an improvement in every evolutionary way over the Potenza Sport S-03 Pole Position (and RE780) with their ultra responsive turn in/steering. The new tires are as quiet as the venerable PZero Nero in the beginning with their stated 72dB rating sticker which is a must on a conv�t top up or down. Tires on a car are as important as speakers to a stereo system.
Impressed in Socal.

I decided to try this tire as a replacement for the KUMHO tires on the car when I bought it. They were hard and had aged out, although they had low mileage. Since my car has larger rear Fuchs (8") vs the stock 7" I needed a tire that had the correct size for the larger Fuchs rim. It was between this and a Pirelli. I decided to give the Bridgestone a try. So far I am very impressed! They look good, ride well, stick to the roadl, and are quiet. We'll see how they wear over time. Since this isn't a daily driver, I suspect I won't get the full use of the tire over the next 6 years or so. Give them a try. Even my mechanic was impressed with them! And, the help, advice and recommendation from the Tire Rack staff was greatly appreciated.

These were rated within 3% of the top of the line Michelin's when I bought them, for about 1/2 the price. So far I've been very happy with them. Great traction and cornering in the dry, not too noisy, more comfortable than I expected (although not Michelin comfy). They're good in the wet, and do a pretty good job of not yanking the wheels and car sideways through deep puddles. I'm running 245/40's on some 18x9 wheels, and towards the extreme limits of cornering the sidewalls do lean more than I'd like. So next time I'd either go with 245/35's or 235/40's to keep that from happening. But the extra sidewall does make 98% of the driving around MA more comfortable, and they've definitely protected my rims very well. For the price I don't think these can be beat for the price I got them, although if they come within $100 of a set of Michelin's, I'd buy the Michelin's.

Two track days with 3 wet sessions one day, one Autocross day, 1,000 miles total before the all-seasons went on. Great tire for daily driving and light track work. Surprisingly, excellent wet traction and feel. Great wear characteristics and pretty quiet, so far. Really fine all-around summer tire. I’m a huge Michelin PS4S fan, but this Potenza Sport tire is better on the track than the Michelin. Sidewall is firm and feels great under hard braking and side-to-side transitions. The PS4S is the slightly superior street tire. Excellent value! I didn’t need a 200TW and this tire earns my top marks for a 300TW class.

Tires work great for spirited driving, will purchase again for autocross / track days. However, for everyday driving driving these tires will not last more than 10,000 miles. I'm on my second set in a years time. At first I thought it was my driving style so I monitored closely on the second set. 10,000 miles and (1) track day later, I am now looking for another set of tires. Longevity, very poor.... Disappointed in a non the least very good performance tire.
