The Bridgestone Potenza Sport is one of the best-driving Max Performance Summer tires on the market, and right now Tire Rack has the 225/45R19 (96Y) 39 percent off. That drops it to $169.23 a tire, down from $278.03, or $676.92 for a set of four.
The reason to care is what you get for that money. In independent testing, the Potenza Sport regularly out-handles the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S, the segment benchmark, on both wet and dry laps, and it usually costs less to begin with. Tire Rack owners rate its dry traction and steering response at 9.0, with a 90 percent recommendation rate across 4.7 million reported miles. If you drive a sports car, coupe, or performance sedan on 18 to 20-inch wheels, that is a lot of tire for the price.

This is a summer tire, so keep it off snow, ice, and near-freezing roads, and its soft compound wears faster than a touring tire. The closeout stock is older production built in 2023, which is why the price falls so far, though it ships with the full manufacturer’s warranty starting the day it is mounted.
For enthusiasts who park the car when the roads turn white, that is an easy trade. Benchmark-beating grip for under $170 a corner is a genuine deal.
