The Brand

Bridgestone is a Japanese manufacturer founded by Shojiro Ishibashi, whose surname translates as 'stone bridge', the source of the company name. It produces tyres for passenger cars, SUVs, commercial vehicles, motorcycles and aircraft, alongside diversified rubber products, and in 1988 acquired Firestone. A premium marque suited to drivers seeking established quality and a broad range.

The Pattern
Potenza Sport EVO

Ultra-high-performance tyre offering sharp steering, strong wet and dry grip, and improved tread life.

The Potenza Sport EVO is Bridgestone's ultra-high-performance tyre for sports cars and premium performance vehicles, and the successor to the Potenza Sport. It uses a high-stiffness compound and reinforced construction to hold the car steady through corners and at speed, with sharp, precise steering. Bridgestone has focused on stronger wet grip and longer wear than the previous model, while ENLITEN technology helps lower rolling resistance to suit modern petrol cars and EVs alike.

  • Sharp, responsive steering and precise cornering control
  • Strong grip in both wet and dry conditions
  • High-stiffness compound with reinforced construction for high-speed stability
  • Improved tread life over the previous Potenza Sport
  • Lower rolling resistance to suit performance cars and EVs
Best for Performance sports cars, coupes and premium saloons, including EVs
