💡 Is the Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS 275/40R20 a Good Tire?
The Bridgestone Potenza Sport AS 275/40R20 is an ultra high performance all-season tire designed for full-size SUVs and light trucks. It delivers strong dry handling and capable wet traction thanks to its advanced silica compound and asymmetric tread design. Ride comfort is firm but controlled, with moderate road noise typical of performance-oriented tires in this category. Tread life is adequate for its ultra-high performance classification but falls below traditional all-season touring tires. Rated Good by TireRack based on 70 consumer surveys, it provides year-round versatility for performance SUVs but is not winter-rated for severe snow conditions. Currently priced from $313.99, it is available through major online tire retailers.
