Questions and Answers for the Bridgestone Supercat

2022-06-07 - Is the tyres 225/45R18 95W okey to run on snowy roads? We are planning to drive from Brisbane to Perisher Ski Resort, need to know if the tyres are suitable for winter conditions over there. Please advise

The Bridgestone Supercat is not snow rated so I would expect it to have very low grip in winter conditions.

worst tyres!! I have had to get them replaced because I have never felt more unsafe!! Even in the dry my tyres just spin without going anywhere!! In the wet.. I have no words, I have to go sooo slow around round-a-bouts and even then I still slide. Scariest tyres I have ever experienced.!!

Probably one of the most popular tyres fitted in NZ. As long as your expectations are reasonable these tyres do fine. They are bottom budget long life tyres. Sidewall is soft and doesn't respond well to sharp inputs, however I've find that these tyres are pretty progressive and safe when driven harder. They tend to squeal well before they let go. Haven't driven hard in the wet but they have felt safer/more stable than other cheap tyres like HIfly HF201 etc.

Wouldn't buy these again but have no issues in recommending these to someone who wants to spend the bare minimum.
I'd rather spend a little bit more to get a more rounded tyre such as Bridgestone F01 etc.

Given 17% while driving a Honda Accord Euro (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 6,000 easy going miles
These are the worst tires I have ever driven on. Including fully worn out cheepys. NEVER BUY THESE!! Ok dry handling? not good just ok. The tyre wall is flimsy and feedback is useless. Tun in and wait...wait ....wait... under-steer....traction control ... 0% wet weather grip. Stopping distance is ridiculous and the slights tap of the brakes in the wet sends the ABS & EBD into a frenzy. If you go around a round about in the wet at 20-30kms the traction control and Stability system go into overdrive. The same round about I would go around at 50-60km/h in the wet with my old scrubbed out tyres. Ive never been so disappointed in tyres. i drive like a old man and never speed. I don't push the limits in the slightest. truely the worst purchase I ever made! Honestly I do not understand how these can be on the market they are not safe at all. How do manufactures get away with such dodgy products. They need to be banned!!!!!!

Given 50% while driving a Nissan X Trail 2.5 petrol (225/60 R17) on a combination of roads for 22 average miles
Dry grip is good but wet isn’t good and atrocious When I drive around a round about that is on a hill, I have to drive really slow or else the car spins out and stability control helps to save it. They have lasted around 35,000-40,000 km. Don’t buy these please especially if you don’t have stability control and awd and traction control!

Given 50% while driving a Mitsubishi Lancer VRX (175/65 R14) on mostly motorways for 0 easy going miles
DO NOT BUY THESE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! These came with the seconds hand car when I bought it and these are outright dangerous if the roads are even slightly wet. These should not be legal I am replacing them with plenty of tread remaining because they are that much dangerous. These tyres have changed my driving style due to how slippery they are when wet. It's like driving on ice. I almost drove off a cliff when the wheels locked up at less than 50km/h with very light braking on a rainy day. luckily I stopped braking and was able to control the car. And that was not the first time or the last time. I have seen lot of similar reviews about the poor wet grip of these tyres. On dry roads the grip is OK. I haven't had these long enough to comment about the life time.

Given 46% while driving a Honda Accord Euro (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 13,000 spirited miles
STAY AWAY: Car had these when I bought it - my first car, and while in the dry they were perfectly acceptable, the moment there was any moisture on the roads they fell to pieces. wet handling wasn't poor, it was outright dangerous. Starting from traffic lights, going around a roundabout, etc in the wet and they might as well be a traction control testing system as it would engage every time and I could feel the car wanting to slide. Ised them until they ran out, replaced with Michelin and the difference in how confident I am with the car in any condition is just night and day.

I have these Bridgestone Supercat A/T fitted to my Jeep Grand Cherokee Lerado. I travel about 20000 ks a year and have had no issues with this tyre on a heavy 4x4. They have excellent grip in all conditions and a excellent road feel. I hope that this tyre is available when time comes to replace them. I will definitely buy them again.

Given 41% while driving a Mazda CX 3 (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 10,000 easy going miles
Rubbish. As others have said, unsafe. These should be illegal to sell in Australia. My wife's CX-3 was dangerous to drive in the wet. Ok on dry. I recently hired a Corolla that had the same tyres and did the exact same thing in wet conditions. I almost crashed it as it started to drift off my lane. Thankfully no one was around. No buying ANY Bridgestone tyre ever again.

Given 34% while driving a Hyundai elantra (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
These tyres are fitted to a recently purchased Elantra SR Turbo which I drove through Chain Of Ponds - a very familiar road. The side walls are very soft, they look under inflated even at recommended pressure. They absorb bumps in the road quite well and are very quiet. That's where the good points end. Cornering grip is extremely low, response to sharp steering inputs almost non existent. Mild acceleration out of corners has the car battling wheel spin even with traction control on.They do not inspire confidence. I've not driven in the wet or had to brake suddenly, I hope I never have to. Will be changing as soon as possible.

Given 84% while driving a Honda Fit (Jazz) (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 56,000 average miles
Very good tires for a car that is used for commuting. They were a well priced tire for what they do, they are quiet, grip I can say is average, as I don't drive on the limit. They lasted for 5 years and 56 000 miles. I am definitely buying these again. I can say the only issue is that on a smooth parking garage floor they squeal when turning, but nothing to complain about.

Given 45% while driving a Ford AU Falcon (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 2,000 spirited miles
Pretty dangerous tyres. I had them on two falcons (both AUIII) of varying mileage. One set on a forte which is the regular model and one set on my xr6 which has stiffer and tougher suspension/engine/handling. Both sets are less than average grip through the hills, and I regularly have wheelspin in the wet. Now, the wet handling is really the main point here. There is very little grip in the wet, and I have substantial understeer. The car will just not go where I point it. We've recently had a rain snap in my state and the car just doesn't handle very well at all, so much that one night driving back through the country I didn't feel safe doing over 60kmph. I am not a timid driver by any means and these are some scary tyres in the wet.
