I took my car into the shop yesterday to patch a very small nail puncture. Upon initial examination the shop said it would be an easy fix. However, when they removed the tire both sides of the internal sidewalls had split and were damaged to the point where the shop said they would be dangerous to drive on. I ended up purchasing a new tire but now am wondering about the tire on the left side since the damage is only visible if the tire is removed from the rim. The tread depth on the tire I replaced was 5 millimeters and had about 12,000 miles and I expected it to last for at least a few more years. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed to find out that that a $400+ tire was so poorly constructed that it lasted less than two years.

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

Fast delivery to installer Customer service was great (Tracey in c.s. Was the best ) Price was amazing Tires made driving amazing. Best tire buying exp ever and Bridgestone tires better than any others

Good performance. Low tire noise. Very good in the rain and also in the dry with good traction as well. The price is good too. Just purchased and installed the 4 tires so I can't comment regarding durability just yet.

Purchased these as replacements for oem which wrre also Bridgestone's. Original set were great. No complaints. Quiet ride, looks sporty on the car. Very pleaded with the quality. Highly recommend.

This is my 1st pair of Bridgestone tires but it won't be my last. The Potenza Sports handle great in dry and wet conditions and the tire is quiet as well. Money well spent.

I was able to get a set for less than 800 including installation. I swap to Blizzaks in the winter, so I'll be content if I can get 3-4 seasons out of them.

The cornering in dry and wet conditions is amazing, only complain about the tires is wear.. they wear really quickly, especially with spirited driving. Would definitely buy these tires again

If I owned a race car these would be perfect. Great grip super quiet. Wore out a set in 13000 miles. NO TREAD WARRANTY.

Terrible tires that wear prematurely and not backed by any warranty. DO NOT BUY!!! These tires also cost me 10-15% on MPG. Awful!
