Real World Driver Reviews
Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO Driver Reviews
Overall, drivers report that the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 EVO delivers strong wet grip and aquaplaning resistance with a comfortable, confidence-inspiring ride, often feeling secure in cold-wet conditions and adequate in light snow. However, many note rapid wear and a marked drop-off in performance (especially wet grip) and rising noise as the tread wears. A subset also report tread block damage or delamination and a soft, somewhat vague steering feel. If you prioritize wet safety and comfort and accept shorter tread life, it can be a solid choice.

Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 Driver Reviews
Drivers generally find the Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF2 quiet, comfortable, and grippy in dry and most wet conditions, with low rolling resistance and good longevity. A minority report vague handling or vibration at higher speeds (often described as soft sidewalls) and mixed winter feedback, though several high-scoring reviews praise snow capability. Overall sentiment skews positive, especially for comfort and efficiency.

Footnote
This page has been developed using tyre industry testing best practices. This means we are only comparing tests which have had both tyres in the same test.
Why is this important? Tyre testing is heavily affected by things like surface grip levels and surface temperature, which means you can only compare values from the same day. During a tyre test external condition changes are calculated into the overall results, but it is not possible to calculate this between tyre tests performed on different days or at different locations.
As a result you will see other tests on Tyre Reviews which feature both the %s and %s, but as they weren't conducted on the same day, the results are not comparable.
Lots of other websites do this sort of tyre comparison, Tyre Reviews doesn't.
