πŸ’‘ Is the Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS 245/45R20 a Good Tire?

About This Tire

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS 245/45R20 is an ultra high performance all-season tire, designed for drivers of sportscars, coupes, and performance sedans who prioritize high-speed handling and year-round versatility in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and specialized all-season compound focus on maintaining grip across diverse weather conditions while delivering the responsive feel performance drivers expect.

The tire features a solid circumferential rib design for continuous road contact and enhanced handling precision, paired with shoulder-aligned channels that efficiently evacuate water to resist hydroplaning. Full-depth 3D sipes are molded into each tread block to improve traction in varying conditions, while the construction aims to reduce pattern noise for quieter rides. Driver feedback indicates strong wet and dry performance with good comfort levels and solid treadwear characteristics for this performance category.

Compared to dedicated summer performance tires, it adds light snow capability and year-round usability while maintaining strong dry and wet handling. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance vehicle owners who want sporty driving dynamics without sacrificing the convenience of all-season traction.
