Tires I'm reviewing are marked as T005A, which are apparently Asian-specific model of T005 with emphasis on wet performance. They were also the factory tire on my car. In my opinion they are pretty comfortable for such a low profile tire, their wet performance seems pretty good (had zero issues with them). The softness goes a bit against the feedback they give from the road, so in the dry they are not the most confidence inspiring tires. I cannot judge the rolling resistance, as these are the first summer tires on the car. Currently at 7mm after roughly 5000 miles, but I haven't measured the original tread depth, so we'll see after another summer, how long lasting are they (which according to other reviews is their weak spot).

I had these tires fitted to my 430i G22 from BMW when I collected the car from them. This tire behaves in a very strange way. When cold, the tire doesn't inspire confidence and, especially in the wet, tends to oversteer a lot, not being easy to control. On the other hand, it manages hot temperatures very badly, again loosing grip after 30+°C and making the car understeer a little, but at least they were managable. The real issue i had was the very short lifespan of the rear tires, complitely gone after 9000km of both normal and spirited driving (never tracked the car, of course). I will never buy this tire again, and I can advise you to do the same.

These tires (in the runflat flavour) were fitted by the dealership as an option. Grip wise, the electric torque really makes these tires struggle, I often find myself having to really be careful about how hard I go on the throttle if I want to be nippy in a junction, as the ESP is also quite trigger happy when not in Sport mode. After that initial couple of feet, however, they have enough grip to accelerate and break without issues. In the wet, the car skids in roundabouts at speeds as low as 20mph. The tires struggle to put the power down, again most likely due to the electric torque. They are quite noisy and (at least the runflat kind) on the stiffer side, so they really contribute to the road feel (in the sense that you'll definitely feel every bump you go over). Otherwise, road feedback is on the average side. After only 8000 miles, the tread seems to be nearing the end of its life. While some sporty driving had happened, it was nowhere near enough to justify the tread being as low as it is. Overall, I am not happy with the way they perform and if I could go back in time I definitely wouldn't get them on my car.

I have this tires for 3,500klm, dry road is good but in the wet braking is a little bad. Wear is bad but the comfort is ok. Soft tires.

I’ve never scored car tires previously, so no real bench mark to go from. I drive a CLA 220d & have had the same tires for nearly 3 yrs & done mostly motorway driving & drive fairly sensible. The car has done approx. 28k. What I have noticed is the treat is generally really good, however the edges have degraded considerably as the rubber looks like it’s breaking down. On the odd occasion I’ve required to put my foot down to get away from a junction clearly, they tires struggle for traction (this is definitely something I do not like at all)

I bought these tires for my wife's Toyota Sienna van. We got them because we wanted a quiet ride and they were top rated for quiet. However, after proper rotation and 17K total mileage, they are completely worn out. Bridgestone gave me some credit but not enough. I WILL NEVER BUY BRIDGESTONE AGAIN. The tires and warranty are terrible.

driving around Crete mostly. bad road network, many dust roads too... bridgestone t005 had some great reviews and gave it a try a year and a half ago.. in need/search of new ones at the moment... tire wear is normal for this mileage bit i would expect better.. nice grip on wet/dry, noize is unoticeable.

Fitted into Volvo c70 180hp. Both front tires fitted in March, in feb following year, they were close to legal limit on MOT. This is 10k in 11 months and nearly gone. Half of what I could achieve from Michelins or continentals. Very poor economy.

These summer tires had a great wet grip A rating and a B rating on fuel consumption. If the roads a dry tires seem to handle very well although the rears are wearing quickly. However if I knew how badly they performed during the colder wetter months I would not of fitted them. May look for an all season tire next.

I purchased this as a used vehicle from VW Motorline Crawley .Found front tires had worn down to 3 mm left after 8,400 miles. I changed front to rear and managed another 5.000 miles ,so will put fronts to rear when new tires fitted.I hope with sensible driving to achieve another 15.000 miles.

These tires are very poor. Wet and dry grip is average at best but their wear rate is atrocious.. I have had these tires on 15 months and approx 8000 miles and they are now at the end of their life. I usually use Continental Premium Contact which normally last me two years and 20,000 miles, but this car came with these tires. I’m not a heavy accelerator and would consider my driving average. £140 for each tire to only last 8000 miles is very poor in my opinion.

These tires are great. Went a couple of sizes bigger to combat road noise. Ideally wanted 205/60r16 but they were out of stock. Going larger does have its drawback, mainly on road feedback during cornering, but the lift made it easier to clear bumps and humps. Ultimately, noise was significantly reduced (though i cant remember what was my previous sets). These tires were great in dry,wet, noise. Once you pass about half way mark, the noise started to come in and at 1/4 left (which is about where im at at the moment and am ready for a new set), wet handling and aqua planning distance starts to deteriorate. I feel that they personally wear out relatively fast, and are somewhat pricey. Will try out some goodyear efficient performance next, heard some good stuff and they are slightly cheaper.
