November 2021, Sebring DE on new Potenza Sport

Just completed a 2 driver, single track day at Sebring. Total of (6) 30 minute sessions. Since our favorite RE-71R's are no longer available, I purchased the new Potenza Sport for street, autocross, and track use. The tires did great on Sebring turning 2:40:00's (intermediate drivers) on a dry, warm day, so they can likely perform even better lap times. Very happy but wish they were a bit softer (300 treadware rating vs 200 for the RE-71R).

Best performance tire I've ever purchased

These tires have a 30k mile lifespan and I've reached 33k miles on them despite how hard I push my car. Any hot day these tires will grip HARD. Unfortunately, any temps below 65-70 they will begin to slip a little if you're making anything over 300hp. They perform well in rain too better than my previous purchases. Great lifespan, comfortable ride, pretty quiet, great performance overall. Would recommend.

A Real Performance Tire

These tires are really fantastic. Car Power 400 Hp Car weight 4300 Lbs Tires 245/45R18 Recommended pressure from car manufacturer, Lower 32 Psi Higher 38 PSI. Front my point of view, Potenza Sport is. -Extremely good: Drive on wet. Dry and wet braking distance. Performance drive or racing drive (both wet and dry) . Cornering both wet and dry. -Very good: Drive on dry. -Good: Aquaplaning with lots of water. -Right: Confort, Noise, fuel consumption, tire wear. -Not good enough: Fuel consumption if tire pressure is at the minimum recommended by the car manufacturer. Finally I drove three times on the circuit, dry and wet for almost 400 miles. It is not a circuit tire, but it behaves well, very well for a road tire, especially in the wet. On the circuit it wears out relatively quickly and holds up better if it's not hot. In conclusion, a fantastic choice for performance or wet purposes, not so good if you are looking for a very comfortable tire with long life and low consumption.
