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.

...I even got to use these in the snow and they did pretty well considering...

Can't believe how inexpensive these Michelin's are compared to the other competitor tires. Noise and confort level far superior than the run-flats that came with my car. Dry and wet traction is superb. I even got to use these in the snow and they did pretty well considering. This is my second set of tires that I've purchased for the rear of my staggered setup BMW X3.

Overall this is a great tire, and produces really good grip while being pretty quiet. This is currently my second set of these tires and I have loved both. These handle the rough Midwest roads well and have had no issues with potholes.

I am hoping that this second set lasts a little longer but so far so good.

...On a heavy EV, these have lasted me over 55k miles and have more to go. Mostly highway driving, but I'm somewhat aggressive on the corners and brakes...

Bang average premium tire, not too many complaints with how it handles. The longevity of it is amazing, though. I regularly had tires rotated (5k ish miles), and an alignment once a year. On a heavy EV, these have lasted me over 55k miles and have more to go. Mostly highway driving, but I'm somewhat aggressive on the corners and brakes. I did hit a pothole last year that has caused a whirring noise on the tire that is slightly annoying. Not sure if that is the fault of the tire though.
