Fiat Abarth 124 Spider Tires

These tires came on my car from factory when I purchased my 124 Spider brand new. I got 38k kms out of them before I replaced them with the exact same spec of tire. Dry handling is phenomenal, wet grip is good until the tire starts to get worn out. Had minimal wet grip and instances of aquaplaning just before I replaced them with a new set of RE050A's. Comfort is not the greatest but that is to be expected with a proper UHP tire. Tire cost is very pricey but it does everything you want an UHP tire to do. I will consider other options next time as i don't believe they live up to their price but they are a good tire.

Fitted these tires myself, noticed a hard feeling sidewall straight away. While mounting to wheels.

I find there is not a great choice of tire at this size. I love how Potenza Sport has performed. But would love to be able to try Goodyear Eagle F1 SS, Continental EC2 etc but most of these higher performance sizes are either North America exclusive or 18 inch and above.

I’ve had a look around and considered going to a cup 2 type tire but live in Scotland and don’t feel it’s worth the flight maybe gain in performance for the lack of in the rain.

I will likely buy Potenza Sport again as I cannot fault them and they are still the best option for my needs in this size. Superb feel, and unbelievable in the rain. Gives unbelievable confidence in bad conditions and for a tire that handles so well in the dry it’s fantastic.
