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.

I workout on the tires of the company a few years, yet I never have failed, I would recommend buying.

I think that the tyre is great. I’ll start with a disadvantage, which is a remarkable weakening of comfort. Driving on unevenness is sometimes very uncomfortable despite switching the suspension on comfort mode! There are also advantages of that fact. The car holds well by fast wheel moves, during hard breaking with ABS on I managed to miss a suddenly changing lane car! On wet, they lose the grip very late, on dry it’s obvious, because they are Bridgestone. Earlier, I had Bridgestones included to my Almera (but probably worse type and all-season’s) which was a tragedy. I sold them after 2 months, because I didn’t even want them to keep ‘just in case’ because they were dangerous. This model restored my trust for that brand. But it’s too rigid for me, so I’m changing for Continental Premium Contact 2 or Pirelli Cinturato p7 and I want a higher profile. If someone likes aggressive driving and hard safe suspension, then I recommend, but if someone has originally hard suspension, then for our roads I’d think about it. If we had German roads, I would probably stayed with those tyres.

I do not know if I would have recommended. But there is no such option to choose from.
