Bridgestone Potenza Sport rated 81% while driving a Honda Accord 2.0T Sport

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
This is my first experience with a 300 tw summer tire, so my ratings might be a bit high. However, these tires are insanely grippy when they are warm in the wet or dry, and the steering response is almost telepathic. They have to be really warm to perform at their true potential, which means about 20 minutes of normal driving or just 5 minutes on the backroads. I have never even come close to the grip limit in corners, though I am in a mostly Honda Accord 2.0T (tuned so it has ~280 whp and 360 wtq, and a stiff rear sway bar). It actually makes it a little harder to stay completely straight on the road because these tires respond to even the smallest inputs, but I have come to love this characteristic; it makes a mostly normal family car feel like a sports car. After 5000 miles and at least 30 hard launches, several 130+ mph pulls, and some backroad driving, they are surprisingly still at 6/32 on the front and 7.5/32 on the back and I haven't rotated them yet either. If I hadn't accidentally done a 10 second burnout while trying to launch in 40F weather, I'm sure the fronts would still be at 6.5-7/32. I guess these tires would wear much faster on a heavier and more powerful car, but if you have a car with around 200-400 hp and don't do burnouts every day, these tires wear reasonably.

Bought a set of these to replace a set of Goodride SA-37. Wow, these things are very sporting biased with grip levels in the dry/warm being absolutely stunning. In the wet they remain safe as houses and don't mind standing water either. All very good??? Not quite, as their performance quite dramatically drops of cliff when you get cold weather (im thinking anything a few degrees centigrade and below). Its not to the point of being dangerous (aka loosing traction), but there is noticeable difference in 'feel', as if the car is suddenly running on a set of super hard cheap rubber. I would never expect a tire to perform 'the same' in cold conditions but the change is quite disconcerting, especially when you are used to such a high amount of grip.....Adding half an inch of snow in to the mix resulted in a car that had zero braking at all which was quite shocking (I will now not even attempt to use the car if there is a hint of snow about..... Due to sporting nature, these are also fairly noisy and I also don't think they will last very long looking at the treadwear values...... I purchased these as I had such a good price on them (must have been a mis-price by retailer to be honest, at £70 odd quid a corner and then proceeded to knock £100 off a set of 4), but i would not buy again (at full price anyway), when Michelin Sport 5's or similar tires available at similar cost that may not be 'quite' so grippy in the warm, but less 'lifeless' in the cold an not 'lethal' in a snow flurry......

Car came with a full set of these, newly fitted on purchase. They are cheap as chips yet performed absolutely fine in all conditions when driven in a calm manner.
I would have been happy with these except for one fact. After 3 attempts at balancing to counteract what was a notable wobble in the steering wheel, 3 of the 4 were spotted during balancing as being not 'round'....... binned them after 2000 miles....

These tires were fitted on my Infiniti Q50S when I purchased the vehicle, only driven 2000kms thus far so can't comment on wear. These tires are a great balance between everyday comfort and performance. Grip and predictability in both wet as well as dry conditions seems to be very good. Nil issues with comfort nor road noise.

This tire feels like a UHP summer tire but in winter. Outstanding performance in dry and wet when cold. Starts to soften above 15 degrees C. Good snow performance - almost as good as X-ice. Ice performance is meh. Michelin sacrificed comfort for handling characteristics; feels too sporty and bumpy for my preference.
Leao Nova Force rated 87% while driving a Opel insignia

I bought bigger 19 inch wheels for my car and i needed new set of tires. I went for a budget option since the premium brands ask too much for their products. The workshop recommended this set of LEAO NOVA FORCE, a brand unknown for me. The European testing put them on 16th place out of 50 selected tested tires. On highways i do not drive above 150 km/h, city maybe 80 km/h on some places but more often 50-60. My city has uphill and downhill streets. The tire is very quiet, the grip is more than satisfactory, on wet surface they handle well. The wear is just fine, no signs of extensive wear. My car is FWD with 140 hp engine manual gear so all the pressure is on the front tires. They exceeded my expectations for half the price of the premium brands. I will probably buy another winters set for the 18 inch rims from the same manufacturer. IF YOU DONT RACE YOUR CAR i highly recommend to give them a try.
P.S. I gave previously review and by mistake instead of 40 i went for 45, so this is the correct one.

Excellent tires for the money. The grip in the wet and dry is very good. My car is rwd so rears only lasted 14kms while the front lasted just below 40klms.

Been using this tire for the past 1.5 years. Had to change it as the tires were making humming sounds. It started to get louder over time (towards the last 2 weeks of usage). Despite the tread life of each tires having at least 50% left to use, the humming sound was just too loud and kept increasing. I do perform tire rotations & balancing every 10,000km to ensure its even. Total mileage used 25550km (15876 miles). Since the pricing for these tires are so good, I decided to get them replaced with brand new S2's again.
These tires are amazing and the pricing just makes it an awesome deal. Its decently quiet, comfortable and has a great grip on both dry and wet. Its a perfect tire for daily commuting with spirited driving. Braking is excellent and the response/feel on the road is great. I recommend these tires and suggest you try these out and get a feel of it. In the Giti tire range, I would suggest you try their top range only (Sport S2 & Control P10), and if your tracking it would be (GTR3).
Youtube doesnt have much reviews on this tire, thus you would likely be searching on this website (like I have) in terms of reading reviews on this tire. Half the price of Goodyear F1A6 / Pilot Sport 5 / Conti Sport Contact 7, however the moment its fitted onto your vehicle, you will feel its as premium as these brands as well.
Great overall !

My cheap ass installed those summer chinese tires on my Infiniti g37x, the exact size were 245/40/19. Not gonna lie i'm frikkin impressed. So far only 1 season passed with them and they handle pretty damn good, I whiteline and swim through traffic with those tires, went to drag strip 3 times and they never let me down. But still don't take it for granted and slow down when it's wet... Remember those are 350$ chinese tires. They're noisy tires but i have a straight pipe so I can barely hear them anyway hah.
Would buy them again *only for summer*. Overall rating 7/10

I bought these to replace Avon tires that had cracked too much after 18 months and I'm impressed so much I went the next week and got same but in 275/35 fitted to the rear, wet grip is excellent, pretty much feels dry.
I live in Scotland so wet grip is the most important performance to myself as in the dry most tires perform similar, I certainly don't have the ability to explore the limits safely.
Very quite tire and my mpg increased.
They don't tramline nowhere near as much as my last tires did.
I've not had them long enough to review wear but so far highly recommended.
