Comparison: Michelin Pilot Sport 4 vs. Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs. Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo vs. Pirelli P ZERO PZ4 vs. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 6 vs. Continental PremiumContact 6 vs. Michelin Pilot Sport 5

The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the Bridgestone Potenza Sport are premium summer tyres from renowned manufacturers Michelin and Bridgestone. Here, we'll compare their performance based on various tests to help you make an informed choice.


The Michelin Pilot Sport 4, made in Spain and Germany, is an upgrade from its predecessor, the Michelin Pilot Sport 3. Our testing rated this tyre at 88%. It excelled in aquaplaning - cross and longitudinal, comfort, dry handling, and rolling resistance during the Autobild test where it clinched the top position out of 11 tyres. In the Sportauto test, it secured the second place. A weakness noted was its high price level. However, this model has been replaced by the Michelin Pilot Sport 5.


On the other hand, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport, produced in Poland and Hungary, is a UUHP(Super ultra-high-performance ) tyre that earned an impressive 92% in our testing. It ranked fifth in the Autobild test, showing strength in wet circle cornering, dry and wet braking, and wet handling. Despite its high rolling resistance and increased rolling noise, this tyre has a sporty and dynamic wet handling, direct steering response, and stable dry handling. In the Sportauto test, it came third.


In summary, both the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the Bridgestone Potenza Sport deliver superior performance with a few trade-offs. The Michelin Pilot Sport 4 has been lauded for its dynamic dry handling and excellent aquaplaning resistance while the Bridgestone Potenza Sport stands out for its impressive wet handling.


If budget isn't a concern, the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 would be a fantastic option particularly for its comfort and low rolling resistance. On the contrary, if you value wet performance, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport might be the superior choice despite its higher rolling resistance and rolling noise.


In the end, your decision should be based on your specific driving conditions and requirements. Always consider professional advice and user reviews for a well-rounded decision.
