The Potenza Sport is Bridgestone's Max Performance Summer tire developed for the drivers of ultra high performance sports cars, coupes and sedans who want to maximize their driving experience in warm, wet and dry conditions. Like all Max Performance Summer tires, the Potenza Sport is not intended to be serviced, stored nor driven in near-and below- freezing temperatures, through snow or on ice.

Bridgestone Ptenza Sport Callouts

The Potenza Sport utilizes large, uninterrupted circumferential ribs for enhanced longitudinal grip and broad, outboard shoulder blocks for increased cornering traction and lateral stability. The next-generation tread compound provides reinforcement and improved block stiffness which promotes responsive steering and high speed handling. Additionally, the enhanced compound focuses on advancing wet traction and stability for capable wet performance. The specially engineered pattern geometry ensures even contact patch pressure while promoting water evacuation for even wear and hydroplaning resistance. Tuned tread block sequencing and lateral notches help minimize tread harmonics for a comfortable ride and low road noise.

The internal construction of the Potenza Sport features a single polyester casing mated to twin steel belts which are reinforced by a robust aramid-nylon cap ply.

Note: Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

...The upside is hydroplaning on a wash or large shallow puddle is non-existent...

These are my initial impressions of the Cooper Enduramax tires for my wife's Crosstrek. I choose tires for family safety here in New England that have excellent wet and light snow performance ratings. If the price of the original Yokohama Geolander tires that came on the car weren't so expensive, I would have bought another set. They were still legal after 75000 miles but naturally we're getting a little hard and not channeling water as well. Many tires in this size have higher load ratings for heavier SUVs but I didn't want to compromise ride quality. So, what do I think? The straight through grooves are wider than I expected from the photos, so they tend to pick up and hold a few half inch or less pebbles. The upside is hydroplaning on a wash or large shallow puddle is non-existent. They are very quiet and handle pavement transitions on bridges comfortably. Tread squirm was a little disconcerting during break in but directional stability is good now. Only had one light snow storm so far and they handled it competently. Very few tire weights were needed to balance them but I now have detected a vibration at about 70 mph after about 1500 miles. Never had that with the Yokohamas. Overall a very good value. I'm 70 years old, and own a small collection of sportscars, racecars, and a few motorcycles. Trust these for your daily driver. Probably update my review in a year or so to let you know how they progress.

The Cooper Discoverer EnduraMax delivers excellent snow and deep snow performance, with most customers scoring 9s and 10s. Ice traction earns confident 7-8 ratings from most drivers, though a few note lower grip in extreme icy conditions.

Have only used had the tires a few weeks, but they have seen rain and snow on both city roads and the highway. They have performed great in adverse conditions and provide great traction on snowy backroads. They are also smooth and decently quiet in the highway. Previous tires were in a bad way, so the upgrade to these has been very noticeable. Have the same Coopers on another vehicle and have had the same positive experience there too.

I only have 1000 miles on the tires but at the moment I am very satisfied. I moved off BFG tires because of puncture failures. The ride feels improved.

...Dry traction has been fantastic and I have driven through some heavy rain and street flooding. I have not been able to force them into a hydroplane situation, so my confidence with these have been great...

I purchased these as part of a wheel/tire package. The folks at Tire Rack did a fantastic job of installation, from new TPMS sensors and balance, it was a great purchase. I have a little over 1000 miles on them, and so far so good. Dry traction has been fantastic and I have driven through some heavy rain and street flooding. I have not been able to force them into a hydroplane situation, so my confidence with these have been great. We haven't had any snow fall here yet, so I can't comment on that yet, but I feel they will be good to go when it does eventually happen. My van is a brick on wheels and not known for being a quiet van (with Stow and Go seats), so the first 400-500 miles I could hear a low humming noise from these tires (which didn't bother me). Now that I am a bit over 1000 miles, the humming sound has gone away (kind of liked that sound lol). When alone I drive the van far more spirited than with my family, and these tires have handled my "faster than normal" cornering speeds. I really can't complain about these tires and can recommend them to my fellow mini vans dads out there. I am hoping to get 4 years from these tires, with scheduled rotations.

So far very good. Quiet, great dry and wet traction, low rolling resistance, and return-to-center on steering is crisp and accurate. I’ve always had good experiences with all my Cooper Tires: Discoverer A/T and Discoverer A/T 3 on both my Silverados and my Colorado.
My sincere hope is that they live up to tge Three Peak rating as I live in the extreme snow belt. We’ll see………

So far so good. Replaced continental tires that came standard with my vehicle with these after doing some research. No complaints, ride seems smoother and very comfortable. Road noise is minimal. Handling is great. I've not driven them in any serious down pours yet so can't comment about we traction, but normal rain seems fine. Also have not used these in winter weather yet so can't comment on that, but I expect they will be as good or likely better than the continentals which were pretty good as well.

The tread on this tire is great, durable, and good in all weather. I have driven my vehicle through almost a foot of snow in an unplowed parking lot in the middle of winter during a white out, leaving work, and it handled great. I was able to stop when needed, and stearing was great as well. When it comes to the rain these tires have no issue going through puddles of water, and are great at dispersing water to avoiding hydroplaning. I will definitely be buying these tires again.
