Bridgestone A001 Owner Reviews

What owners say summarised from 43 reviews

The Bridgestone A001 receives broadly favourable owner reports for wet and dry grip, snow traction and resistance to standing water. Forty of 43 reviews are positive overall, although the full accounts include isolated wet-grip and dry-handling concerns. Noise is the most repeated reservation, criticised by about one in five of the 40 owners, while four praise it. Three repeat contributors remain positive overall, but their differing scores do not establish a shared ageing pattern. Although mileage often attracts praise, 41 reviews lack a stage of use and none is identified as end-of-life, so a general durability or grip-retention claim is not established.

I'm driving on these tyres since December. Grip in both wet and dry is excellent compared to my previous (Dunlop) summer tyres. Ride is comfortable and quiet.

One thing I'm unsure about is the correct tyre pressure - at the recommended 32psi (cold) for my car they feel a bit soft. I find adding an extra pound or two improves the ride greatly.

It's still too early to tell how they will wear but after three months/ 2000km they still look as new (as they should I suppose)..

More hard and noisly on the hightway, but I feek me OK. Also in the snow I feel me very safe, much more safe than with summer tyres. I am not a hard driver, olways drive slowly than permitted.

Excellent tyre for the general winter season. I purchased just prior to the snow (December 2010) and am glad I did! The wife feels much more secure driving in poor conditions / snow / ice, too.

Great tyre, especially with the recent weather. Increase in traction in the wet, and provides good traction in the snow and ice. Massive improvement over summer tyres.

Has transformed the handling of my s max in temperatures less than 7 degrees, particularly in snow, in addition aquaplanes much less than normal summer tyre when passing through standing water. Outstanding .
