Review Summary
Based on 24 user reviews
Most drivers report the Bridgestone Supercat has dangerously poor wet grip and uninspiring handling, with many describing ice-like traction in rain. Dry grip is generally acceptable to average, and several users praise long tread life, quietness, and value on commuting or light-duty vehicles. A minority of high-scoring reviews (including A/T fitments and light commercial use) report strong durability and satisfactory all-round performance. Overall sentiment skews negative due to frequent and severe wet-weather complaints.

Latest Bridgestone Supercat Reviews
These have been the worst Tyres I have ever had on any vehicle. after only 40000KM lumps began falling off revealing the wire mesh. Some damage was caused from curbs in parking, therefore very low speeds. I mostly drive highways and local suburban streets. These Tyres have endured some large trips and I have never felt confident with them on the vehicle. In the wet they are dangerous - they have no grip, you slid around corners even at very low speeds roundabouts and signal light turns you can only pull away slowly or you are straight away slipping and sliding all over the road, they should not be allowed to sell a trye as poor quality as these. I had the Tyres reviewed/ assessed by the original installers and was told they need to be replaced at 47000km these are the smallest Kilometers I have ever had from a set of Tyres. They are not down to the wear indicator, but the rubber has gone "soft" were the words of the assessor and I was advised NOT to drive on dirt roads as more lumps were likely to come off. I purchased these on special at $190/ tyre and had a care plan which I maintained for balancing and rotation. They have worn evenly.
DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES!!!!!!
Very durable tread. Low usage but tyre tough and lasting. You discover care needed in wet and oily.
Possibly the cheapest but value street or highway tyre.
I have two pirellis on front two Supercat on the back
Round-abouts are worst On wet roads the back just slips and slides
Have had Michelin tyres previously which were bad enough on wet/damp roads But these worse Then again they are half the price So, You get what you pay for
I’m a very sedate passive mature driver I don’t take risks on the road
