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.
