Very good dry handling and braking. Most comfortable and quite all season I've ever driven. Wet behaviour is not the best, but these tyres are more predictable than Michelin CC and BF Goodrich AS. Snow handling is great but braking is average. I'm reccomending these tyres for calm drivers looking for good comfort and fuel saving/better than some premium summer tyres/.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Tree years and 28000 miles later...It's amazing how good these tires are.
There is no significant change in the handling and braking at all. Only minor change is the slight noise increase but it's acceptable and normal at all. I live in area where summer is over 40C and in the winter we have - 20C, with lot of snow. I know I can ever relay on these. There are still about 5mm tread left so I suppose I'll use them for another year. Definitely recommend these tires.
Pros:
- Great handling, brake and grip in the dry.
- Even better in the wet.
- Very stable at highway speed and on a twisty roads.
- Feedback is best I had with tyre ever since I drive a car /more than 35 years/.
- Good economy.
Cons:
- Need a little warm up for best results.
- These tyres are noisy.
- I suppose they'll fit better on a cars with softer suspencion.
Definately best Bridgestone tyres I've ever drove. They replaced my OEM Nexen's N Blue HD, ordinary tyres which I've throw away after 1000 miles.
