Evo tyre test win for Bridgestone Potenza Sport

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport has taken first place in Evo’s 2025 tyre test, with no fewer than six table-topping performances.

Bridgestone’s flagship sports tyre, tested on a BMW 135i xDrive with 302 bhp in the size 235/35 R19, was among the nine tyres tested by the renowned car performance magazine Evo, in association with blackcircle.com.

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport scored top marks for its handling in wet conditions, setting the shortest wet braking distance, and hitting top scores for wet cornering and curved aquaplaning. Under dry conditions its performance also highly impressed the editors, with the Potenza Sport scoring the fastest dry lap time and finishing third in dry braking.

The Evo team called Bridgestone’s tyre “an emphatic winner” and an “exceptional tyre”, and said the “foundations of its win are in its superb performance and feel in the wet and dry on the road”.

According to independent TÜV SÜD tests, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport ultra-high performance tyre achieves the best performance in both dry braking and cornering, and straight line stability versus competitors in the premium segment.

It also offers an outstanding performance in the wet, boasting an EU label A-grade in wet grip across its full line-up and being deemed best performer in wet cornering and handling in further tests performed by TÜV SÜD.
