About This Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport 245/40R17 is a max performance summer tire, designed for sports car, coupe, and sedan drivers who prioritize high-speed handling and responsive steering in warm weather conditions. Its tread design and compound focus on maximizing grip through large circumferential ribs and broad shoulder blocks while enhancing wet traction capabilities.

The tire features a next-generation tread compound that reinforces block stiffness for improved steering response and high-speed stability. The specially engineered pattern geometry ensures even contact patch pressure and promotes water evacuation to resist hydroplaning, while the uninterrupted circumferential ribs provide enhanced longitudinal grip and the outboard shoulder blocks increase cornering traction. Driver feedback points to excellent dry performance with strong wet capabilities, delivering good overall comfort while maintaining the responsive characteristics expected from a performance-focused design.

Compared to all-season tires, it prioritizes maximum warm-weather performance and handling precision over year-round versatility. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicle owners used primarily for spirited driving and daily use in warm, dry, and wet conditions where winter weather is not a concern.
