Took delivery of the new car in Nov 17, and as my dealer knew I work throughout Europe, including Italy, they fitted Nokian winter tires to conform with Italian law. Great tires !
I was back in the UK in April, and my dealer (at no charge) re-fitted the new Bridgestone 002 tires as supplied with the new car and put the winter tires into storage for me.
Immediate reaction was that these tires in motorway driving are noisy, (quieter in France) but apparently were otherwise OK.
However since April I have experienced driving in heavy rain and inclement weather in France, Belgium, Austria and Italy, and under these conditions the tires (regardless of what Bridgestone say) can be vague to very jaw clenching when cornering or breaking under poor conditions, even at low speed.
Can't wait till November to get my winter tires back on!

Bridgestone Turanza T002

Factory fitted with my new Toyota Prius 2016

Front tires lasted 38080 miles
Rear tire lasted 55498 miles, rear tires still had life for another 2000 miles but I changed just to be on the safe side on reaching legal limit.

long lasting tires, a little on the noisy side, grip in wet is so so, dry grip is good, tough tires, recommended tire if you don't want to change tires often. Best use touring.

Came as factory fit tires on our ex demo BMW 116d and not at all impressed with them. Wet grip often seem non existent, had three or four occasions where the rear has stepped out in the wet while taking a corner, turning at a junction and even crossing a level crossing; this is on the open road and within town.
Wear also appears high (9k done and the rears have less than 4mm left and BMW recommend replacing tires at 3mm), as does the noise level on less than perfect road surfaces, although ride is not to bad considering they are run flats.
Not sure which tires to try once these wear out but for sure it won't be another set of Bridgestones.
