Comparison: Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport vs. Bridgestone Potenza Sport

The Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport and the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, both summer tyres, have different strengths and weaknesses according to multiple tyre tests.

Manufactured in Germany, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport scores 68% in our rating. It is a well-built summer tyre, praised for its comfort, dry handling, and waste mitigation. However, it exhibits weak grip and understeers significantly on wet roads. This leads to longer braking distances in the rain and high rolling resistance, as reviewed by Autobild 2024 and TyreReviews.com 2022. The Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport didn't perform at its best in mutual test comparisons, finishing 4th in Die Reifentester and Autobild, 6th in Gute-Fahrt, and 7th in Sportauto.

Contrastingly, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, produced in Poland and Hungary, earns a high rating of 91%. It is an Ultra Ultra High Performance (UUHP) summer tyre. Its dynamic handling, robust grip on wet surfaces, and short braking distances are some of its excellent traits. It also provides a direct steering feel and good balance as pointed out by Autobild 2024 and TyreReviews.com 2022. However, the Bridgestone tyre shows strong wear marks after only a few rounds on a dry racetrack, has low aquaplaning resistance, and delivers the highest noise level and lowest comfort in the test. In the mutual tests, it outshined the Goodyear, ranking 1st in Die Reifentester and Autobild, and 3rd in Gute-Fahrt and Sportauto.

In conclusion, while the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport offers reasonable comfort and dry handling, it falls behind in wet grip and rolling resistance. On the other hand, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport delivers better overall performance, especially on wet roads, despite showing signs of wear on dry circuits and reduced comfort. Therefore, those looking for a well-rounded summer tyre might find the Bridgestone Potenza Sport a more compelling choice than the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport.
