Bridgestone Potenza Sport crazzy tire in wet in RWD i have traction all the time and you need to try lost grip not other way, but in dry conditions driving at limits this tire is unpredictable and sometimes back can start to uncontrollably lose grip and then regain it shortly after what can be dengerous in high speed. Unluckly tire is very noisey but comfortabe in high and low speeds even at the bouncy routes. After 6k miles done i dont get any changes in driving and tire tred looks good.

Bought these to replace Pirelli p zeros fitted new on bmw i4 m50.definitely better dry and wet grip same noise level as Pirelli.i changed Pirelli after 9.000 miles mixture of driving expect these to last about the same staggered set up front 255 35 20 rear 285 30 20 which in my opinion accelerates wear plus weight of car I was advised these are not star rated for bmw yet they are better alround than the star rated Pirelli.
For the first time, I bought Toyo summer tires because Pirelli and Michelin were out of stock. I thought they wouldn’t be good, but I was surprised. The car feels like it’s glued to the asphalt. When I used Pirelli tires, the car would slip on every start and in roundabouts, especially since it’s rear-wheel drive. But with Toyo tires, no matter how much gas I gave, the car just flew and stuck to the road in curves, roundabouts, and on starts. The tires performed perfectly, even on wet surfaces. I drive the car 70/80% of the time at over 200+ km/h, and with the Toyo tires, it feels perfect. I drove the tires for 88,500 km, and I have no words—perfect, perfect! The only thing I couldn’t find was a profile with rim protection, but still, they are more than perfect
I bought a Maserati Granturismo 4.7 second hand and I found these tyres on my car, maybe they are not design to handle many HP, I don't feel much control if I push on the gas either with the electronic control the traction is not so good, I have to push very gentle, because of this lack of confidence I can't say too much, I will replace asap with something with more grip. I never try on the wet because if on the dry is not so good I can't imagine what has to be on the wet.
Outstanding dry performance , which is 85% of our winter driving in northern metropolitan cities . The snow and ice is 80% as good as a snow /ice only low performance tire . But with my AWD sedan that is fine . Love these . P285 on back ; P245 on front . I am a car conniseur and could buy any tire period and i choose these . Mine are W rated look for that , though the V rated are great too I am sure .
Running them on my F90 M5C I have much better steering feel and less under steer on track days. On mountain roads there isn’t much difference to the PS4S or PZ4 I had on before as you can really push the car on public roads, but on the track the grip and feel was amazing
A very good winter tyre, gives you more confidence in the wet and when there is a spell of cold weather. Very good in the wet.
