Securing the top spot among ten competitors, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport excelled in the test, earning a final rating of "Exemplary." This premium tire stood out for its exceptional handling on wet surfaces, high level of grip in both wet and dry conditions, precise steering response, short braking distances on wet roads, and very good safety margins against aquaplaning. It also impressed with its fuel-efficient rolling resistance and moderate price level. A slight drawback was its slightly increased rolling noise. Noteworthy is the tire's superior performance in disciplines such as aquaplaning - longitudinal, rolling resistance, wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling, clearly demonstrating its dominance in crucial areas of driving safety and efficiency.

very good
Ranked #6 of 11
The Bridgestone Potenza Sport ranked 6th out of 11 competitors in a comprehensive evaluation and was awarded a final rating of "Very good." This performance tire excelled in its sharp handling and high lateral support on wet surfaces, alongside secure and engaging handling when driving on dry roads. Particularly, it showcased superior capabilities in disciplines such as dry steering response, wet circle cornering, and both subjective and objective wet handling, outperforming its rivals. However, the tire faced criticism for longer braking distances at lower temperatures and a somewhat rear-biased handling on wet surfaces. Additionally, its dry braking performance was deemed weak, and it had the highest rolling resistance of all tires tested, marking areas for potential improvement.
