Bridgestone Potenza Sport vs Yokohama Advan Sport V107
Across six common group tests (mostly in 225/40 R18 plus one in 235/35 R19), the Potenza Sport repeatedly converts pace into points-finishing 1st/9 (EVO), 2nd/9 (Auto Express), 3rd/21 (Auto Bild), 2nd/18 (ADAC), and 1st/52 (Shootout). The V107's results are more variable (4th/9, 7th/9, 19th/21, 6th/18, 14th/52), and while it can be genuinely impressive in specific dry metrics and can feel “fun” and sharp at the limit, it is consistently less complete when wet grip, longevity, and running costs are factored in.
Test Results
Independent comparison tyre tests are the best source of data to get tyre information from, and the good news is there have been six tests which compare both tyres directly!
| Tyre | Test Wins | Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Bridgestone Potenza Sport | six |
While it might look like the Bridgestone Potenza Sport is better than the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 purely based on the higher number of test wins, tyres are very complicated objects which means where one tyre is better than the other can be more important in real world use.
Let's look at how the two tyres compare across multiple tyre test categories.
Key Strengths
- Class-leading wet braking across all shared tests (often by large, meaningful margins)
- Very strong wet handling and driver confidence; consistently high subjective scores and stability
- Balanced dry performance with precise steering feel; usually competitive or better in dry handling
- Often stronger ownership metrics in major tests: longer wear life and better value per km, plus generally lower rolling resistance than V107
- Strong dry braking potential; frequently matches or narrowly beats Potenza Sport on dry stop distance
- Engaging, sporty steering character and feedback at/near the limit; often described as 'fun' and crisp on turn-in
- Capable dry handling pace when pushed; can feel nimble and precise on the road
- Sometimes competitive on specific aquaplaning metric (curved aquaplaning wins in multiple tests) and can be slightly better for fuel consumption in ADAC

Real World Driver Reviews
Bridgestone Potenza Sport Driver Reviews
Drivers largely describe the Bridgestone Potenza Sport as a very high-grip UHP tyre with standout wet traction, strong dry grip, and sharp, precise steering that makes cars feel more direct and confidence-inspiring. Braking performance and stability at speed are frequently praised, and many consider it strong value versus Michelin/Continental rivals. The most common downsides are high road noise, a firm/harsh ride, and faster-than-expected tread wear (especially with aggressive driving or track use). A recurring theme is temperature sensitivity: performance can drop noticeably when the tyre is cold or in near-freezing conditions until it warms up.
Based on 125 reviews with an average rating of 80%
Yokohama Advan Sport V107 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally describe the Yokohama Advan Sport V107 as a very sporty max-performance summer tyre with strong dry grip, sharp steering, and confident handling/feedback that can hold up surprisingly well for occasional track use. Many also report good wet traction, though several note reduced confidence in colder conditions and some aquaplaning as the tyre wears. The most consistent drawbacks are short tread life for a “premium” tyre and higher road noise/roar on coarse pavement, especially at highway speeds.

Conclusion
The Yokohama Advan Sport V107's best case is for drivers who prioritize a lively, communicative feel and strong dry braking, and who are willing to accept trade-offs. It repeatedly nicks dry-braking wins by small margins (e.g., EVO 32.0 m vs 32.2 m; ADAC 34.8 m vs 34.9 m; Auto Express 34.0 m vs 34.9 m), and some reports praise its crisp turn-in and “fun” at the limit. However, the pattern across tests is that it gives back more than it gains: wet braking and wet handling are its consistent weak points versus the Bridgestone, and several datasets show higher rolling resistance and notably lower projected mileage-two factors that can outweigh a slightly lower purchase price.
Practical takeaway: if you drive in mixed summer weather, do lots of miles, or want the safest all-rounder at high speed, pick the Potenza Sport. Choose the V107 mainly if you value its steering character and dry performance feel enough to live with weaker wet safety margins and, in some tests, higher energy use and shorter life.
Key Differences
- Wet braking is the decisive separator: Potenza Sport wins 6/6 wet-braking comparisons (e.g., Auto Bild 43.1 m vs 49.6 m; Auto Express 30.0 m vs 33.2 m; ADAC 28.8 m vs 31.2 m).
- Dry braking is the Yokohama's strongest counterpunch, but margins are small: V107 wins 3/6 dry-braking comparisons (e.g., EVO 32.0 m vs 32.2 m; ADAC 34.8 m vs 34.9 m), while Bridgestone wins decisively in others (e.g., 32.6 m vs 33.8 m).
- Overall standings heavily favor Bridgestone (wins major tests and podiums consistently), while V107 ranges from mid-pack to lower-pack depending on the test (including 19th/21 in Auto Bild).
- Handling balance: Bridgestone more consistently quick and confidence-inspiring in both wet and dry (multiple dry-handling wins and higher subjective scores), whereas Yokohama can feel sharp and playful but is more demanding and less grippy in the wet.
- Aquaplaning nuance: Bridgestone usually leads straight-line aquaplaning, but V107 more often wins curved aquaplaning (3 wins vs 2), suggesting better lateral water performance in some conditions even when overall wet grip is lower.
- Running costs and efficiency trend favor Bridgestone in the biggest datasets: markedly longer wear in Auto Bild and ADAC (e.g., 50,500 km vs 34,300 km in ADAC) and lower rolling resistance in several tests, while V107 is sometimes cheaper to buy and slightly better on ADAC fuel consumption (5.7 vs 5.8 l/100 km).

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
