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.

Enjoyed the tire is snow. Holds really well. Longer life, and superior snow/ice/ wet/cornering than oem winter tires. A little noise compared to oem summer and range decreases by 5-10%, at the cost of superior grip/performance

I've driven in several different snow storms with heavy snow, wet, snow, dry snow and ice and my experience is the same driving and whether it goes from an experience of fear to one of control and safety. I can pass jeeps and Subaru and pick up trucks with four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive like it's nothing in the worst of conditions.

I’ve been on the fence about getting snow tires for many years living in a snowy climate with 2 wheel drive cars. This purchase has blown my mind in so many ways. I’ve driven in several different snow storms with heavy snow, wet, snow, dry snow and ice and my experience is the same driving and whether it goes from an experience of fear to one of control and safety. The only downside is that I feel impatient with other slow drivers now who are creeping along at 25 miles an hour because they’re held back by their tires and their fear of sliding off the road. I can pass jeeps and Subaru and pick up trucks with four-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive like it’s nothing in the worst of conditions.

...The traction in snow is excellent, and having proper snow tires is a must for upstate NY.

I came from Continental ProContact tires, and these Michelins are my first real snow tires. They’ve been performing great so far. The traction in snow is excellent, and having proper snow tires is a must for upstate NY.

This is my first rear wheeled drive car in a very long tome. I go skiing in VT often but wanted some peace of mind in snowy conditions. These tires got grip! The other day I watched a front wheel drive car "front fish tale" up a hill. That car was in front of me and I was able to drive completely normal with no loss of traction. I was not sure about getting a set of winter tire and now I couldn't be happier!

...Because I downsize my rims/tires for the winter, the ride quality is actually better due to the taller sidewalls / more cushion...

This is my second time buying Michelin X-Ice tires; both my cars have these tires at the moment b/c it's winter here in WI. Because I downsize my rims/tires for the winter, the ride quality is actually better due to the taller sidewalls / more cushion. I love the tires. Notably, the X-Ice on my older car were installed back in Jan. 2021. I'm still driving on those tires and there is plenty of tread for another season. Truly impressed.
