Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS Ultra High Performance All-Season Tires in 225/50R18

I’m on my 4th set in rear 3rd in front. These are definitely the best tires I have purchased. I like the summer tires for grip but not much tread wear. So i got these, great tire for traction and wet. (Ultra high performance tire) they are all season tires too so you get better tread wear but they feel like a summer tire.

Big fan of Bridgestone tires. I have the Potenza Sport AS tires and they are great on my Lexus 350es. Rides like it's on rails. Super smooth at high speeds and a champ in the rain.

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.

At 39k miles, Im already on my 3rd set of tires on this car. I selected "Autocross/Track" because of how I use this car; its mostly aggressive back mountain road cornering on fun drives (15-30mph consecutive curves) or its the occasional behaved, longer road trip. This is my Appalachia sports car, that can also make the 2 mile dirt road mountain trek back up to our house. The car originally came shod with Conti Cross-Contacts AS run-flats, which cornered well but were hard & transmitted a bit of road surface noise. The 2nd set were Firestone Firehawk AS, which offered a respectable ride, but excessive sidewall roll entering an corner. They actually had a hitch mid corner entrance, going off center, to where they would retain traction at the contact patch but would flop the sidewall over hard. Good Mom car tire, not good for the WV mountain slayer. I changed up the size, from the stock 235/60-18 to these Potenzas in a 245/55-18, which increased width by about 1/2" and decreased overall height by about 1/2".

The Potenza AS is a cornering fool with no transition from off center to mid corner. Minimal but fairly unnoticeable sidewall roll yet retains a comfortable straightline ride over questionable asphalt surfaces and even some cush on a gravel road when needed. Hard acceleration might give a momentary quip from the rears from a dead stop, but otherwise both ends are always glued on dry asphalt. Braking performance feels initially muted but its still there. I generally park this car for winter & it minimally sees rain due to the dirt mountain roads I have to drive to get home turning muddy, but the few wet roads these tires have seen, theyve offered up good traction though I dont push the envelope on wet asphalt. Looks wise, the tread initially struck me as a little less track worthy than I was expecting (like an A/T) but once mounted they look great including the premium looking sidewall.

Highly recommend.

Outstanding steering feel and grip for an all-season! The steering comes alive with talkative feedback and makes driving a joy at all speeds!

I previously had Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus, and those tires made the steering numb and lifeless. Potenza Sport AS is night-and-day better! I could tell the difference after driving 100 yards from the tire shop.

Great tires looks well on car and rides comfortably

These are a very good choice for performance, control and comfort combined.

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!

my car came stock with the Perelli P Zero. At 22,000 miles they were down to the wear bars. I decided to try the Bridgestone, even though there were no reviews. With only 1k miles on them I'm very happy with them. I feel like the Pirellis had slightly better grip in the corners. However, I bought these because of the higher treadlife so hopefully that proves out. I recommend these.

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.
