Bridgestone Potenza Sport Evo

Done about 1000 miles now. Dry grip is fantastic, super sharp and responsive. Done alot of cold (3-5 degrees) wet driving at night and they've never missed a beat. No wheelspin or loss of grip.

They absorb potholes and speed bumps wonderfully. Paid £129.99 a corner from Asda tyres, they were nearly £30 a corner cheaper than Michelin which my 19inch wheels are PS4S. I prefer the Bridgestones.

First time using Potenza sport Evo and coming from PS4S & Conti 7 the difference in sporty feel is incredible. I only use my car for weekend spirited driving and odd track day but generally change tyres every year.

Mounted on a Toyota GR86

Previous fits:
PS4 - Soft handling and safe overall, surprisingly low grip in the wet and cold
V107 - Sharp handling, great feedback, wear is on the higher side
F1SS (AO) - Tyre fitter ordered the wrong tyre, meant to be standard aftermarket F1SS, but AO spec was delivered and mounted. Audi OE spec seems to have ruined the tyre for the GR86, terrible with the AO spec. Unmounted in 6 months (6 months too long). Car is nervous right out the gate, mid summer and only got worse as temperature drops

Initial impression:

Amazing wet grip even in the cold with road grit, amazing dry grip as expected.
Sharp steering, at least on par with V107!
Feedback on limit might be a bit lower than the Advan Sport V107 but it would well be down to colder temperature in early March still.

No my track day car, dedicated car on Advan A052. So will be mostly on fast road and commute use.

Put them on BMW E91 LCI rwd. Currently it is spring in Croatia so the temperatures go down (5,6 degrees) and up (25 degrees). Driven them hard on open road and in the city rush. First impression - comfort. Second impression - the amount of grip. I am glued to the road. I hope this version (Evo) lasts longer than Potenza Sport. I will get back with another review in the end of their life span. 10/10 experience. I wanted the F1 eagle asymetric 6 but the production is slow these days and they were not available. This was my second choice.

I have driven these tires for about 500km now. i had the ps5 before. I noticed that these tires understeer a lot with a fwd car with a heavy nose 59/41. No matter the setup of the car, the tires wont bite at the front like the ps5 did. They were good for road use, but after 30 mins of driving at a low speed track (max 120kph) the tread looks horrible and I dont think they will last even a year, they understeer a lot under the weight of the nose. I have driven the same track with the Ps5 2 years ago, the balance was neutral with the occasional oversteer. With these tires, I cant even make the car oversteer if I'll try my best, even if I up the rear pressure to 3.1 bar. Just understeer. On the road they work well, they have a lot of straight line traction. They work especially wel in the rain, but they cant handle hard driving. Unlike my ps5 tires that lasted 50.000km. Will be putting SC7 or PS5 on the front axle as these are able to handle a heavy nosed fwd car

Very early impression, used as a track tyre on my modded MX-5 done about 50 laps at Bedford Autodrome GT layout, as well as to and from the track. Fun track tyres, great handling feedback and direct steering feel, plenty of grip when push and stable through corner. Track performance much improved overall compared to the PS4 previously which was quite snappy at limit.

Not driven in the wet yet so cannot comment on wet performance. Not driven enough to comment on wear but seems decent after 50 laps.

Road noise is louder, and side wall is stiffer compared to PS4, maybe by ~10%.

Would recommend, especially if you can get them on a deal. I paid £330 for 4 corners fitted from National Tyres, April 2026.
