Great tyres. Equally good both on the dry and on the wet. Precise handling, perfect grip in the corners and while breaking. High resistance to hydroplaning (if the tread is at least 6 - 6.5 mm). Disappear quite quickly, but in the standard, about 1 mm/3700 miles (driving as normal, one visit to the track), which is a better result than S-03PP. They are fairly quiet, although in colleague’s Leon they were making terrible noise. Moderate comfort, but the comfort of this type of tyre is not expected :-)

Excellent tyre, as far as traction is concerned. This time, I expected also a perfect comfort and I disappointed myself a bit, because I shouldn’t buy UHP rubber. It’s not loud, but I know the quieter and is quite rigid. Most, however, I feel rolling resistance - the fuel consumption increased by about 1l/60miles comparing to Dunlops. At this time I would choose a compromise, which is the Bridgestone ER300, which I know from the other car.

I was happy with the tyres, they have never disappointed me even on a wet road with leaves including, held great. But when I changed it to winter tyres, I noticed that after 9300 miles half the tread of the front tyres ‘’disappeared’’, and I mostly ride long-distances on the highways, so it’s strange and shocking, perhaps the fact that they were produced in Poland? Previous Michelin pilot primacy stood nearly 40400 miles, so I’m disappointed with these Bridgestones.

Tough tyre, rather sporty characteristics - and that’s good! On dry asphalt, they are excellent - all the fun of driving. On the wet they are also good, but slightly worse than the soft Uniroyal RainSport 1 Their hardness gives a lot more confidence in the corners rather than Uni, though it certainly will not appeal to lovers “Rockin” limousines. I think the abrasion is normal, but after 10 500 miles you can see shaved sides of the tyres. Virtually no rolling resistance. At any speed, a Boxer is louder than those tyres. A lot of fun from driving if someone likes to ride faster than the rest, but still have full control of the car.

Good for sporty driving. Strong on the edges, tough and great on corners. Good for wet. Unfortunately my vehicle seems to be too weak for those tyres 177 bhp in 2.0 d. They provide you with great grip on furrows and almost want to spit the car out of it! Great tyres! I would recommend them for sport, powerful vehicles.
