πŸ’‘ Is the Bridgestone Potenza Sport 235/55R20 a Good Tire?

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport 235/55R20 is a summer max performance tire designed for performance-oriented SUVs and crossovers.

Rated Good by TireRack based on 606 consumer surveys, it excels in warm weather driving but is not winter-rated and may feel harsh for daily commuting compared to touring alternatives.
