Product description & features

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport tyre has been specially developed for the summer season to achieve maximum speed and manoeuvrability. Bridgestone has adopted hybrid technology in which aramid and nylon are mixed inside a tyre carcass. In addition, the asymmetric tread design has large tread blocks on the outer side for cornering, while longitudinal grooves are used for water removal. Sipes improve the braking efficiency by providing stiffer treads.

Potenza Sport is available in reinforced XL, run-flat, and run-flat reinforced versions. The Potenza Sport tyre is exclusive to the Lamborghini Huracán STO as a summer performance tyre. Tyres.co.uk stocks all variants of the Potenza Sport tyre.

Highlights

  • Asymmetric tread with larger outer blocks
  • Front-to-back water grooves
  • Reinforced XL and run-flat versions

Tyre review for Bridgestone Potenza Sport 245/40R18 97Y XL
The experience has been bad as I have already had to replace them. I bought these tyres based on Mercedes recommendation for the Mercedes C300 cabriolet. I usually drive in eco mode, on dual carriageways, and with cruise control. I fitted the tyres on January 26 and after only two months and 4,000 miles I was experiencing dangerous slipping of the car in wet conditions. Upon inspection of the back tyres, I found them to be nearly bald. This was after 2 months which does not match the expectations set for the tyres as they supposedly have good road grip. I have now changed to non-sport tyres.
