I cant believe the "bad" reviews these tires have, especially the guy that had them for one whole day then returned them because he thought they were noisy. Noise depends on many things from body deadening, suspension to tire height/profile so whats noisy on one car will be quiet on others, like how can someone rate wet/dry grip, longevity and handling after driving a few hours - pathetic!
I've had these tires a few months now doing a bit over 10,000kms on them in a mix of long country and city driving, they replaced the factory Kumhos on my Kia and I've been in love with them ever since driving out the Bridgestone dealers yard.
They are soooooo much quieter than the kumhos, grip is amazing in both wet and dry, the road holding excellent. The tread is miles deep and I expect to get at least 80,000kms out of them, I've read some people get 100,000! Amazing considering the terrible Kumho Ecsta 51's lasted me a little over 30,000kms, they used to aquaplane in the smallest of puddles making wet weather driving quite an anxiety filled horror show.
Not the Bridgestone turanza serenity plus, I can drive with confidence in the wet now they're fantastic no matter the road conditions.
The only thing I could pick wrong with them is the ride is a little harsh compared to the Kumho, like you feel every tiny bump and stone in the road, though sometimes a good thing if you like that sporty road handling but for me not so much in my small suv.
Overall though I'm very happy with the purchase as these really are great tires.
I'm definitely buying these again.
