Bridgestone Potenza Sport Worth it?

[Alvin Mpower]

There is this crazy deal on the Potenza Sport right now, seems like a steal. Worth getting for street daily driving over the PS4S which cost 1770?

I had them on my daily Corolla and performed well, good on wet and dry weather not sure about snow condition. For the price I would get them beside it's quiet on freeway not much road noise.

Thanks for the advise, will probably need tire after this summer but don't mind stacking it up till next summer for price this cheap.

Tires are already 3yo so they’ll have a shorter useable life span. Tires harden as they age. How many miles per year do you drive?

I drove 25k miles in less than 2 years, I also have another set for winter. When I changed the summer on last weekend I measured the thread and it's going to hit yellow soon in the back, the front is good though. I have couple of long drives coming up, might be eating through them before July ends.

With 12.5k/year avg, you’ll wear out the tires in 2-2.5 years. For the price, it sounds like a good deal. Have you compared performance ratings with the MPSS?

Yeah, seems like Potenza is just a bit worst than PS4S but better than PSS.

I just had these on for about 8k miles. Very good tire, still get some spin at speeds below like 20 when you are gunning it. Overall very satsifed with the tires. Road noise is fairly minimal for a summer tire, very good in the bit of rain in 40 degree weather, never had me concerned for traction when driving normal

Give them a try! For the price if they end up being even a little worse than the PSS in reality, they’ll be gone fairly quickly or you might find it to be better than a PS4S based on how you drive. Tires are like brake pads when it comes to recommending a tire because we all have different likes and dislikes of how a tire performs.
