Data updated
Which should you buy?
Choose the Bridgestone Potenza Sport for the best all-round max-performance summer behaviour-especially if you drive in mixed weather, want consistently short wet braking, and value a strong overall test record. Choose the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport if your priority is dry handling feel and occasional track work, and you're comfortable trading some wet-braking margin and (in some tests) higher rolling resistance/refinement for that sharper, more circuit-oriented character.
Where the Potenza Sport is stronger
- Stronger wet safety performance: wins wet braking in 8/10 shared tests and wet handling in 7/10, often by clear margins
- Consistently short braking distances in general (dominates dry braking too: 7 wins vs 2)
- Well-rounded road manners in several tests (comfort/noise often competitive or better, e.g., Die Reifentester comfort/noise wins)
Where the Eagle F1 SuperSport is stronger
- Often the more track-leaning, engaging tyre in the dry: more dry-handling wins (5 vs 3) with sharp, linear steering feel in multiple reports
- Strong subjective “driver enjoyment” character-adjustable balance and early-throttle confidence noted in EVO testing
- Aquaplaning (straight-line) is frequently competitive (straight aqua category split 4-4) and can be a strength in some fitments

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 10 tests, 2021 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.

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.

Most owners agree the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport delivers outstanding dry grip and confidence, backed up by sharp steering response and strong dry handling, with many also praising its stability when driven hard. Wet grip is generally rated good for a UUHP tyre, though around one in ten owners specifically criticise wet handling, and a similar share note it can struggle in colder conditions. Comfort is the main compromise: close to three in ten owners find it too firm or unsettled over bumps. Tread life is more mixed, with a meaningful minority reporting rapid wear (especially on higher-torque use) while others see impressive longevity for the category.
- Exceptional dry grip, even when driven hard
- Precise steering response and strong feedback
- Very capable dry handling and cornering confidence
- Good wet grip for a UUHP summer tyre
- Firm, busy ride that can feel harsh over bumps
- Tread life is inconsistent, with some reporting fast wear
- Poor cold-weather grip; not a winter-friendly choice
Summarised by AI from 61 vetted reviews; the reviews themselves are on the tyre page.
All 66 Eagle F1 SuperSport reviewsThe Goodyear SuperSport tires deliver immediate feedback and precise handling. The best part is how they completely changed the behavior of my S3 3‑door: it used to push from the nose, but with these tires the front end finally bites and the rear becomes playful.
The car is so much more fun to drive now.
They’re also almost indestructible, especially compared to Pirelli and Michelin (which have their own strengths, but durability isn’t one of them).
I really enjoyed these tires and would absolutely buy them again — unless Goodyear releases a new SuperSport.
Thanks, Goodyear. Great work.

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 Goodyear's Eagle F1 SuperSport sit in the same max-performance summer bracket, but they're tuned with subtly different priorities: the Bridgestone tends to chase outright grip and lap-time consistency across conditions, while the Goodyear often leans into sharp, track-friendly steering and dry-circuit pace.
Looking across 10 shared professional tests in multiple sizes (18-20 inch fitments), a clear pattern emerges. The Potenza Sport is the more repeatable “all-conditions fast” option-especially when the road is wet-whereas the Eagle F1 SuperSport is frequently the more engaging dry-handling tyre and can feel exceptional on a circuit, but is more variable in wet braking and overall ranking depending on size and test temperature.
Conclusion
Across the shared test history, the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is the more convincing all-round winner. It takes the majority of overall head-to-heads (8 wins vs 1 for the Goodyear, with 1 draw) and, more importantly for real road safety, it repeatedly delivers shorter wet braking and faster wet handling. The gaps can be meaningful: in the 2024 Sports Car test the Bridgestone stopped 11.7% shorter in the wet (50.6 m vs 57.3 m), and in the 2022 Tyre Reviews UUHP test it was ~5.7% better in wet braking (53.41 m vs 56.65 m) while also being ~5.8% quicker in wet handling (88.57 s vs 93.99 s). Even in the latest 2025 EVO test, where both were excellent, Bridgestone still edged the key metrics (e.g., wet braking 27.56 m vs 27.79 m; wet handling 77.39 s vs 77.73 s) on the way to 1st overall.
The Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport's case is strongest for drivers who prioritise dry handling feel and track-day character. It wins dry handling more often overall (5 category wins vs 3 for Bridgestone) and is repeatedly described as tactile, linear and confidence-inspiring at the limit-e.g., 2025 EVO praised its dynamic balance and connected steering, and Tyre Reviews has consistently positioned it as a road tyre you can genuinely take on track (including a “track_master” award in 2022). The trade-off is that its wet braking can lag behind the Bridgestone in several tests, and it's also more likely to give away points on rolling resistance and occasionally refinement. Practical takeaway: if you want the safest, fastest point-to-point tyre across mixed summer weather, choose Potenza Sport; if you want the most track-leaning, sharp-steering road tyre and accept some wet/efficiency compromise, choose Eagle F1 SuperSport.

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.
