Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107
The headline pattern is clear: Bridgestone dominates in the wet-braking, handling, and stability-often by meaningful margins (circa 10-13% shorter wet stops in multiple tests). The Yokohama counters with sharp steering and fun-to-drive character, occasional dry wins (notably dry braking in Auto Express), and better curved aquaplaning in several tests, but it's held back by higher rolling resistance and shorter projected mileage in most studies.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tyres directly!

While it might look like the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is better than the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths

- Generally lower rolling resistance than V107 in most shared tests (though still on the higher side overall)
- Engaging, quick steering and high subjective 'fun' on road/track
- Very strong dry braking in some tests (took the win in Auto Express)
- Better curved aquaplaning in multiple comparisons
- Competitive cabin noise and pricing advantage in some contexts

Real World Driver Reviews
Bridgestone Potenza Sport Driver Reviews
Across 115 reviews, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is praised for exceptional dry and wet grip, sharp steering response, strong braking, and confidence-inspiring handling, often rivaling or beating PS4/PS4S and PZ4. Many note it performs best when warmed and can be superb for spirited road use, with some citing good value. The most common drawbacks are rapid tread wear, higher noise and a firm ride, noticeable grip drop when cold, and poor durability on track abuse; a few also report slightly higher fuel consumption. Overall sentiment is strongly positive for performance-focused drivers, with caveats on longevity and comfort.

Yokohama Advan Sport V107 Driver Reviews
Drivers report the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 delivers strong dry grip, sharp handling, and confident wet performance when warm, with several high-scoring reviews praising its sporty feel and feedback (including on EVs). However, many note high road noise on coarse surfaces and notably fast tread wear, making it less ideal for daily comfort or longevity-focused use.
Based on 18 reviews with an average rating of 73%
Conclusion
The Advan Sport V107 suits drivers who value lively steering, feedback, and track-day feel on the road. It can stop very well in the dry and resists curved aquaplaning better in several tests, but it lags the Bridgestone in wet braking and handling, shows higher fuel consumption potential (via rolling resistance), and typically wears faster. For most buyers, Bridgestone is the safer, faster, and better value long-term; enthusiasts who prioritize steering feel and occasional circuit use may prefer the Yokohama despite its compromises.
Key Differences
- Wet braking: Bridgestone shorter by ~7-13% in several tests (e.g., 27.6 m vs 31.8 m in the shootout)
- Wet handling: Bridgestone consistently quicker and more stable; Yokohama shows limited traction at the limit
- Dry performance: Both are fast; Bridgestone more consistent overall, Yokohama occasionally tops dry braking
- Aquaplaning: Yokohama often better in curved aquaplaning; Bridgestone better in straight-line
- Efficiency: Yokohama shows higher rolling resistance in most tests, implying higher fuel use
- Wear and value: Bridgestone markedly longer mileage and lower cost-per-km in ADAC/Auto Bild; Yokohama tends to wear faster

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
