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!
