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'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.
El Potenza Sport AS de Bridgestone pertenece a la categoría: Ultra Alto Rendimiento Para Toda Estación y fue fabricado para conductores de autos deportivos, cupés y sedanes de rendimiento, que buscan tener la posibilidad de andar a velocidades elevadas, y una maniobrabilidad predecible en condiciones secas y mojadas, añadiendo un rendimiento confiable durante todo el año, incluyendo en condiciones con poca nieve.
El Potenza Sport AS moldea un compuesto de caucho nuevo para toda estación en un patrón de huella asimétrico, para mejorar el rendimiento, en una variedad de condiciones climáticas, sin dejar de mejorar la calidad del manejo esperada por los conductores. El segmento central circunferencial sólido ha sido diseñado para mejorar la maniobrabilidad, a través de proporcionar un contacto continuo, con la superficie de la carretera, mientras que reduce el ruido, y ofrece un andar tranquilo y parejo en clima soleado. En condiciones mojadas, el Potenza Sport AS, posee un diseño con canales alineados con los bloques de los hombros, que proporciona una evacuación de agua eficiente, del área de contacto con la carretera, para mantener el control y aumentar la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning). Pequeñas ranuras profundas tridimensionales, "Full-Depth 3-D Sipes", moldeadas en cada bloque, aumentan significativamente la rigidez en comparación con las ranuras tradicionales y obtienen una maniobrabilidad óptima, sin dejar de proporcionar tracción y los bordes adherentes necesarios para conducir en condiciones mojadas o con poca nieve.
La construcción interna del Potenza Sport AS posee una capa doble de poliéster que se extiende a la parte superior del flanco, proporcionando fortaleza adicional, para balancear la respuesta al girar el volante y un andar confortable. Correas gemelas de acero reforzadas con nailon envuelto en espiral, aumentan la capacidad para andar a velocidades elevadas.

Best Tires for Tesla Model 3 Performance: 5 UHPAS Tires Tested (20:39)
The Ultra High Performance All-Season category is a popular choice for EV owners, especially Tesla Model 3 drivers. We took five tires from this category, both EV and non-EV-focused, to compare handling, performance, braking, and efficiency on our own Model 3. Some of these tires are stalwarts, and one is a brand-new offering, but there’s truly something for everyone looking for a UHPAS tire that fits their needs.
User feedback reveals the Michelin Primacy Tour A/S delivers excellent comfort with consistent praise for its smooth, quiet ride (scores 8-10). Treadwear earns strong marks for durability, with many users noting long-lasting performance. Winter traction shows variability-while most report reliable handling in light snow (7-9 range), ice performance draws mixed feedback (scores 3-8). Wet traction is a standout strength, with high scores (8-10) for grip and hydroplaning resistance. Dry traction receives near-perfect ratings (9-10), highlighting confident handling and responsive steering. As a grand touring all-season tire, it excels in comfort and year-round versatility, though drivers in severe winter conditions may want deeper snow/ice capabilities.

...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.
