Any feedback on Bridgestone Potenza Sport tiers and best set of spacers

[DxBSupra]

Im planning to get spacers and new set of tires

10mm front with 265/35/R19 factory OEM RIMs and stock suspension

13mm rear with 285/35/R19factory OEM RIMs and stock suspension

got an offer from Bridgeston Potenza Sport as per currently in my region PS4S and Continental EContact sport 7 are out of stock

so any feedback or review for the bridgeston potenza sport tires if they have similar grip to ps4s ? And so far is they are a great choice?

thanks

I have these Falken Azenis FK510 tires on my Supra on 20” wheels and it’s an amazing tire. Zero negatives here.

Not sure if they are offered in your increased sizes.

~ looks like they do make the preferred sizes you’re looking for (the tire rack).

I have nitto Tires NT 555 G2 265/35/19 front and Nitto 555 Rii 285/35/19 drag radials on the rear on the OEM wheels with stock suspension just 13/15mm spacers and i love them. My car has a custom E50 tune and they hook up pretty well on rolls especially compared to the super sports which were a spin fest on pump gas

I just ordered this exact tire setup today and pretty excited about it. been running the super sports the whole time @ 23k miles now and definitely slip. e50/dp. (lowered on H&R's with BMS 13/15 spacers)

Is the 15mm rear a little bit going more to outside the body ? I need flush setup so 285in the rear with 13mm i think should be ok in my case right ?

It’s flush i think any wider of a tire and it wouldn’t be. The most common spacer setup is a 13 front and 15 rear. I use the BMS spacers

I have Apex wheels and bought 10mm spacers all around for a rub issue up front. It worked. But looking back, who knows. I coulda shoulda gone 13/15 @Avarela99 I swap out my OEM for a square 275/35-18 setup every 6 months to track. So as far as looks, I‘d prefer getting flush as possible if that 13/15mm setup will do that more so on the OEM wheels.

But guys any feedback on Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires ?

How soft are they? I love Bridgestone’s softer compounds. They were pricy when I drove my MX5 on track. But the hard core race guys used Bridgestone all the time.

If the price is right and in your neck of the woods, sounds like a fairly legit review.

These Bridgestone Potenza’s are on my Nissan Z and it’s awful, you’d spin even on 3rd gear no traction. Looses momentum each time, you don’t feel confident on these. It may very from vehicle type but it’s definitely a downgrade compared to Michelin PSS. I’ve ordered Continental Sports Contact 7 for the Supra and Z.

Actually the one Im asking about is Potenza Sport not Potenza S001 &S007 which they are on the new Z400 , i know that the Z bridgestone is not a grippy tires but this one is different its the one came on the new Maserati MC20 from factory

Unfortunately you get what you pay for, most of the time. I drive on my semi-slicks ½ of the year and love it! I go back to street tires only because we get so much rain and I’m not tracking the other 6 months. So it’s up to you dude. I’d personally look for a 200 tread-wear tire to run year round and call it a day. If I were in your shoes.

In general, the longer the tires last, the shittier they will drive. The quicker you burn through them (softer), the better grip and driving experience you’ll get out of them.
