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.

Good Tire with outstanding performance

A very good performance tire. First Bridgestones I have ever owned. What sold me was the guarantte, 50,000 miles. More than majority of the competion. Being a low profile tire, and wide on my SL500 the ride is as good as can be expected. Gave it a five in comfort for this reason. It does ride good, and traction is a solid five stars. the SL500 is a heavy car for it's size, but the Potenza Sport has no problem sticking to the road. Drove for two hours in major rainstorm. Plenty of standing water on the road, they did a great job. Deep standing water they tracked straight. Much better than I expected. There are probably tires with a softer compound that might have more traction, but durability will suffer. These tires will do everything you ask of them. For the price they are a good deal, and I would recommend them. They are a good looking tire also. MSAtlanta
