Given 59% while driving a Volkswagen TOUAREG V6 TDI (275/45 R20) on mostly motorways for 17,000 average miles
Absolute rubbish for Touareg, DONT FIT. THIS ON A TOUREG. Hardly 17 000 kms done, Worn- out mainly driving in city at 60 km/h 25% on long distance trips on tar, at 130km/h. Good tire for handling, but getting only 17000km, tire should be 50% of cost of Pirelli Scorpios that lasted 38 000km

Given 81% while driving a Peugeot 508 SALOON (215/55 R17) on mostly motorways for 30,000 spirited miles
I have them on my Peugeot 508. I drive mostly on motorways, but sometimes also on poor-quality country roads and in a big city. These tires are quite decent - nice feeling, good handling and grip on both dry and wet roads. Maybe in really heavy rain, they could be a little bit better. But in all the conditions, they're easily predictable and safe. Wear is good in my point of view. I have done 30.000 miles, which is the longest distance I have ever driven with one set of tires. Their biggest disadvantage is noise. It's not a disaster, but Goodyear Efficient Grip and maybe even winter tire Bridgestone LM005 Blizzak are more quiet. And I think that on Goodyears, my fuel consumption was slightly lower.

Given 54% while driving a Volkswagen Touran sport TDi (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 7,000 average miles
I have these on a 2005 Touran, 1.7T weight but I have no rear seats or middle seats, so even lighter The fronts have lasted 7K before I'm at approx 3mm.... Not impressed on that front, in the dry, I love them. I often drive "eco" in regards to motorway, occasionally I'll put my foot down and feel like I'm vaguely near their limit. I've had them squeal two-three times in 7K miles so overall they do grip well but they don't last well. In the 7K the majority has been on the A1/A14/motorway, the little bit has been city and just urban overall where I'm a lot less inclined to put my foot down. In the wet, I haven't over/understeered, they've always gripped throughly well, stopping, I rarely get ABS to kick in unless it's really wet and I've found the painted white lines, I've had the occasional 80 down to 30-20-0, they're reassuringly stop very, very well. I do not plan to purchase them again though, 7K miles to be at 3mm on the front is extremely poor. I have a family member who drives a lot more spirited, with michelins, they've lasted 20k and still have another 20k overall to go if not more. I have enjoyed them in their limited lifespan but I'm not reassured.

Given 50% while driving a Mercedes Benz E Class (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 20,000 easy going miles
I had T005 tires fitted January 2021. At recent Mot, I was advised that tires have less than 3mm left and need to be replaced. I have clocked up 20000 miles. Have to be the worst wearing tires I have had on a car in 30 years. The Bridgestone ER300 I had previously lasted 3 times longer, 65000 miles.

Given 67% while driving a BMW X3 (245/50 R18) on a combination of roads for 14,000 spirited miles
Had this on BMW X3. The grip is superb on dry and wet condition and brake distance was good only until 20K. It wears off too fast even my driving condition is 60/40 city drive. After 20K, the grip on wet is not as good, very noisy.

Given 38% while driving a Toyota Camry (225/45 R18) on mostly motorways for 500 average miles
Really disappointed… had E32 and they were really quiet and great in wet or dry conditions Wanted same or Serenity Plus but out of stock of both- told “ these are Bridgestones best… must be as most expensive “ These are “ noisey “ awful high pitched “ whishing “ sound at all speeds - real rumble on rough surfaces…. Absolutely disappointed… feel totally ripped off … never buying Bridgestone again 0 out of 10 … Michael K

Given 37% while driving a BMW 1 series M pack (225/40 R17) on a combination of roads for 4,000 average miles
Got those as stock on BMW 1 series. Summer tire performs worse than all season I have. Spinning on wet, dry. Handling - none, stopping - weak. Car is unstable even on reasonable acceleration on wet surface. Just some dust on a turn, and go sideways. On speed over 120 - car goes sideways. On turns on a highway car slips from trajectory. Catch some dust in a turn, even reasonable low speed, you lose control of the car as grip is gone. List goes on and on. Worst tire you can imagine. Even low fuel consumption doesn’t worth all the negative points. Plastic tires, no grip and as a result low fuel, but really doesn’t worth it whatsoever. Never ever buy it. I drove 6k kilometres on those, want to get rid of it. Don’t want even to resell it, because those tires are unsafe.

Given 90% while driving a Volkswagen Golf GTI Performance Mk. 7.5 (225/40 R18) on mostly town for 25,000 average miles
These Bridgestones came supplied with my Mk 7.5 VW Golf GTI Performance. I would describe them as a decent tire, certainly compared to many others I've driven on over the years. Although I live and drive in a city (average driving style), I do take the car out around country roads and motorways regularly (spirited driving style). I do not track race the car. I would describe the braking performance as exceptional, the tires provide a strong feeling of security. They are extremely comfortable, even over drives of 400-500 miles...so great for touring...as you would expect of this tire. Tires are not quiet though, much louder than my Goodyear Asymmetric 6's. Quite a noticeable noise on the motorway at legal limits. I would say that most would find the handling to be great, though slightly remote...certainly not as grippy or accurate as the Goodyears. Front tires wore after 10-12K miles, rears more like 15-17K. I would recommend the tires and would buy again.

Given 83% while driving a Opel Astra J 1.4 turbo (205/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 25,000 spirited miles
I have and Opel Astra J (1.4 Turbo 140hp). I put the tires in September 2019 with 130k km. Now (June 2022) with 170k km, they are just over half the thread depth (so I calculate about 20-25k km more). They have been very good so far. Pretty communicative at the limit, with progressive grip slip at the very edge. Equally good on dry and wet. The only obvious downside is relatively high rolling noise (conpared to my previous Continental EcoContact 3, which lasted half as long). Overall, pretty statisfied.

Given 47% while driving a Toyota CHR Hybrid (225/55 R17) on a combination of roads for 150 average miles
First things first 6.3mm tread from new. They barely look much better than the ones i took off and before mounting them they looked/felt balloon like. No stiffness. They often stiffen after heat cycling but they still feel like marshmallow roger rabbit car tires that could rip open on a kerb or pothole. I keep looking at them and thinking they are low on pressure. The good news is they are ok on fuel and get me a few extra mpg on my chr hybrid but doubt you will notice on a normal ICE car. They are also comfy and smooth out rough roads. They have really sucked any fun from the corners as theres zero feedback and sometimes you turn and the car just wants to go straight. Any spirited driving and the abs has the odd buzz at you. Cant wait to put them on the back and get a stiffer full tread depth tire. I think they will do better on the back with less weight. Maybe the xl ones would have been better but i wanted the A grade fuel rating and didnt think it would change the dynamics this much. I want steering feedback and stability under harsh braking over that 3mpg. Personal preference i guess. Make youre choice.
