Tires were fitted with the car. They have served well and almost 60,000k. They've never really been pushed hard.

My first experience of Brridgestone tires. I replaced the OE Continental tires for these. Good grip wet and dry but fallling off fast now that they're 1mm above the wear indicator. Noise is no real difference. Very dissappointed with the wear for an expensive premium tire. £750 for 4 and after 10,000 the fronts need replaced. Mainly motorway with a 60mile daily commute with a top speed of 70 (if I'm lucky).

Fiat 500

I had these on my fiat 500 by diesel they were factory fitted too the car. We found them too be great handling around corners, very gripy,but it's quiet a hard ride, not sure if this is the tires or just how the car is set up?
Iv just had too change the front tyers after 21,000 miles as they were worn on the inside and outside.
Not cheap at £178 for two tires but I was impressed with the tires so thought it was best too buy the bridgestones

These tires were fitted on my Mondeo 2.0 titanium estate by the manufacturer.
I have had the fronts replaced as down to 2.0mm.I have just completed 12000 miles of very mixed driving and don't consider this to be good value at all. This time I have had Goodyear F1 asymmetric 2 fitted. I will monitor closely and make an informed decision when some miles have been added
