When it comes to choosing tires, there are many factors to consider. But if you’re looking for the best of the best, it really comes down to two brands: Bridgestone and Michelin. Both companies make excellent tires that perform well in a variety of conditions. But which one is right for you?
To help you decide, we’ve pitted the Bridgestone Potenza S007 against the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. We’ll compare and contrast their performance, pricing, and other features to help you make the best decision for your needs.

The Potenza S007 has an asymmetric tread pattern with wide outboard shoulder blocks. This provides excellent grip in dry conditions. The center of the tread is relatively flat to promote even wear and long tread life. The Potenza S007 also has large circumferential and lateral grooves to help evacuate water and reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
