245/45R16 Bridgestone Potenza Sport – Performance Summer

Category: Summer – Supreme Performance

The Bridgestone Potenza Sport is a supreme performance summer tire that gives your sports car upgraded wet acceleration and handling over older generation tires. It takes curves confidently with enhanced cornering and excellent stiffness for responsive steering at high speeds. The Potenza Sport was built to maximize the thrill and excitement each time you hit the track.

What these tire specs mean

  • Load index 94 means each tire can carry up to 670 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
  • Speed rating Y is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 300 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
  • UTQG 300 AA A is a manufacturer-assigned grade for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance. Useful for comparing within the same brand — but it’s not a mileage guarantee, and ratings aren’t standardized across manufacturers.
  • Summer tires are built for maximum warm-weather grip — dry and wet roads where compound stickiness and tread design matter most. They harden in near-freezing temperatures and are not suitable for Ontario or Quebec winter driving.
  • Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
