Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Bridgestone Potenza Sport if you want the most complete high-performance summer tyre with standout wet safety, consistently strong handling, and better long-run ownership metrics (wear and usually rolling resistance). Consider the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 if your priority is dry-road steering character and an engaging, track-tinged feel-and you can accept weaker wet-stop consistency plus typically higher rolling resistance and shorter projected mileage.
Where the Potenza Sport is stronger
- Consistently superior wet braking across all shared tests (7/7 wins), often by large real-world margins (e.g., 43.1 m vs 49.6 m in Auto Bild; 27.6 m vs 31.8 m in the Shootout)
- Strong wet handling pace and control (e.g., Top Tyre Review 2026: 29.9 s vs 31.0 s; EVO: 77.39 s vs 78.95 s), with frequent praise for steering feel and engagement
- Balanced high performance in the dry as well, usually near the top for braking and handling even when not always #1
Where the Advan Sport V107 is stronger
- Excellent dry-road agility and lap pace potential, including dry handling wins (Top Tyre Review 2026: 29.8 s vs 30.9 s) and strong subjective steering/driver enjoyment notes
- Competitive dry braking in several tests, with narrow wins over the Bridgestone (e.g., Auto Express and ADAC; EVO by 0.2 m)
- Often good straight-line aquaplaning resistance relative to some rivals (e.g., slight win in Top Tyre Review 2026: 78.1 vs 77.8 km/h), and generally stable dynamics when pushed

Wins count every measurement the shared tests recorded for both tyres; a tick marks the tyre ahead on that line. Subjective driver scores count as wins but are never averaged, because each test uses its own scale.
Head to head in 7 tests, 2023 to 2026
Each row is one published test in which both tyres ran on the same car, in the same size, on the same day. The line is the whole field, winner on the left.

Braking distances and lap times are better when lower; speeds, wear and grip figures when higher. A test's figures are its own: sizes, cars, surfaces and temperatures differ from one to the next, which is why the averages here are only ever of tests the two tyres shared. "Scored" rows are subjective driver ratings: each test uses its own scale, so only the wins are counted.
Scores beyond the shared tests

Owners generally rate the Bridgestone Potenza Sport as a very sporty road tyre, with strong dry and wet grip and sharp, precise steering feel. The main drawback is longevity: around one in three owners complain about fast wear, sometimes markedly so. Road noise is another common issue (raised by around one in four), while a smaller but notable group report a big drop in grip and confidence in cold weather.
- Very strong dry grip with a predictable, confidence-inspiring feel
- Impressive wet grip for a performance-focused summer tyre
- Sharp, precise steering response and good road feedback
- Strong dry handling and cornering ability
- Short tread life / rapid wear for many owners
- Loud road noise, often getting intrusive
- Noticeable performance drop in cold conditions
Summarised by AI from 129 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 139 Potenza Sport reviewsOn road it's like having a semislick which is capable of handling water showers like an UHP tyre. On track you can feel it's not a semislick, but you can enjoy a stable performance allowing you 100% of fun with 80% lap time or something like that.
On the road wear on external shoulder is high, on track it's really impressive lap after lap.

Owners most consistently praise the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 for strong dry performance, with around three in five highlighting excellent dry grip and many also noting sharp steering and confident dry handling. Wet grip is generally rated as decent, though opinions are more mixed, with a small but notable group (around one in seven) finding it weaker, particularly in colder conditions. The biggest drawback is longevity: around two in five owners complain of very fast wear. Noise is another frequent issue, with around one in three reporting higher road roar, especially on rougher surfaces.
- Outstanding dry grip and confidence under power
- Very capable dry handling with strong feedback
- Direct, responsive steering feel
- Stiff, sporty sidewalls that support hard driving
- Very short tread life and rapid wear
- Noticeable road noise/roar, especially on coarse surfaces
- Needs heat or a bedding-in period to feel at its best

Reading the results
Written from the test results and owner reviews above. It is analysis, not a measurement: where it and the tables disagree, the tables are right.
Bridgestone's Potenza Sport and Yokohama's Advan Sport V107 sit in the same “serious summer performance” bracket, but they go about the job differently. The Potenza Sport is positioned as a max-performance driver's tyre, while the V107 is an ultra-high-performance all-rounder that also shows flashes of track-friendly character-especially in steering feel and dry lap pace.
Across seven shared professional tests in popular fitments (notably 225/40 R18 and 225/45 R18), a clear pattern emerges: the Bridgestone is consistently the safer, faster option in the wet and is usually right near the top overall, while the Yokohama can be very quick and rewarding on a dry road but is more inconsistent when conditions turn wet and is frequently penalized for efficiency and longevity. The interesting twist is that the V107 occasionally nicks small wins in dry braking/handling and can score well for subjective “fun,” but the Potenza Sport's repeatable wet advantage is hard to ignore.
Conclusion
If you care about outright performance with a strong safety margin-particularly in the wet-the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is the more convincing and more consistently proven tyre here. It swept wet braking across every shared test (7/7 category wins), often by meaningful margins: for example, 43.1 m vs 49.6 m in Auto Bild (+13.1% for Bridgestone) and 30.0 m vs 33.2 m in Auto Express (+9.6%). It also typically leads wet handling (5/5 where measured in the summary) and frequently posts stronger aquaplaning speeds, making it the more dependable fast-road choice when weather is variable.
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107's best argument is how it drives in the dry. It can be genuinely rapid (e.g., it won dry handling in Top Tyre Review 2026: 29.8 s vs 30.9 s) and is repeatedly described as crisp, keen and engaging, even earning “track_master” context in one test. But it's also the tyre that most often gives away points on real-world ownership metrics: it posted the highest rolling resistance in multiple reports (e.g., 10.62 kg/t in Auto Bild; also criticized as worst in the Top Tyre Review 2026 group), and its projected mileage was notably weaker in the biggest comparatives (ADAC 34,300 km vs Bridgestone 50,500 km; Auto Bild 35,890 km vs 45,880 km). The result is a tyre that can feel great at pace, but costs more in energy and, often, wear.
Practical takeaway: the Potenza Sport is the “choose it and forget it” performance pick for drivers who encounter rain or want the best overall result across tests. The V107 is a more niche buy-worth considering if you prioritize dry-road agility/steering character (and sometimes price) and you're comfortable trading away wet-stop authority and running-efficiency consistency.

Where this data comes from
Finishing positions and measurements are transcribed from each published test. A test only counts here when both tyres ran in it, so every figure was recorded on the same car, size and day as the one it is compared to.
About the TR Score
The Tyre Reviews Score rates each tyre out of 10 from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold, so two tyres can be compared even before a test has run them together.
Who does the testing
Every test published as a Tyre Reviews test is run by Jonathan Benson, who has been testing tyres independently since 2007.
