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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I'm really a fan I like the ride the quietness and the sleek design it really shows off my Mazda greatly. Will buy again
