Bridgestone Slips to Bottom in 2026 JD Power Performance Tire Ratings

JD Power's 2026 tire survey places Bridgestone at the bottom of the performance-tire segment with 768 points (below the 796 segment average), while Michelin leads with 818, followed by Goodyear at 805 and Pirelli at 801. Dunlop is the weakest in passenger tires at 723. Tire Rack data shows Bridgestone model-level variations—Potenza S005 is weak in ultra-high-performance summer, RE980AS+ and Potenza Sport AS perform well in all-season categories, but RE92 underperforms in wet/snow—suggesting inconsistent Bridgestone performance across models that may drag down the overall brand score.

Sustainable tires tested at Detroit Grand Prix.

IndyCar racers at the Detroit Grand Prix are using tires made with sustainable materials and burning renewable fuel in their engines to reduce their environmental impact. The tires are made from rubber extracted from the guayule plant, which requires less water than other crops and can be grown in arid and hot areas. The guayule tires will be used on all four IndyCar street circuits this year, and Bridgestone plans to sell them for street cars by 2030. The recycled plastic used in the tires replaces petroleum-based synthetic rubber, and the fuel used in the engines reduces greenhouse emissions by 60%.
