Bridgestone Potenza Sport
We really like the new Potenza Sport, as it’s more sporty and dynamic than the usual tyre in this category, but still perfectly usable and safe for everyday driving, which makes it unique. It’s rolling resistance, mileage and overall comfort are also on a good level, except for a slighty higher noise.
- Exceptional handling on the wet
- Short braking distance on wet roads
- Great handling on dry roads
- Short braking distance on dry roads
- Excellent steering response on dry roads
- High rolling resistance/high fuel consumption
- High drive-by noise levels

Continental SportContact 7
Our favorite every-day performance tyre that delivers fast laps on dry circuits while being safe for the daily commute, having won multiple tests in wet conditions. However, if you lean more towards comfort and low rolling resistance, the PremiumContact 7 might be a better choice.
