I don't tend to push the tire anywhere near the limit so for my driving I cant criticize Dry and wet grip nor have explored the limits of handling.
Where I an dissatisfied is:
i) the wear rate - the fronts only had 0.3mm of legal trad left at around 13.5K whereas my previous Giulietta's needed new fronts at 25K (Continentals) and were still legal at 23K (Michelins). As I haven't suddenly become a boy racer I can only conclude it is the rubber.
ii) Blocking of the rear tires. This became noticeable around 10K and sounds like a wheel bearing noise. Now done 14.5K and the noise is slowly getting louder.

So not only (IMHO) do I have to replace the front tires prematurely but also the rears as well. Assuming Bridgestone accept some liability they will no doubt want to charge me for the rubber used.

I replaced the front with Bridgestones again and the jury is still out on the wear rate. If I replace the rears it is unlikely to be with the same make.

This is my second baby BMW (s1) - both have come with brigestone tires and I acnt say I'm a fan. The wear has been awful with no more than circa 12k out of a pair of rear tires (rear wheel drive car), ride comfort is adequate but on first opportunity I have switched the acr over to Goodyear Performance which have given much greater ride comfort, improved the handling and provided much better handling in boith wet and dry conditions. The wear from Goodyear has been significantly greater than these Bridgestone tires. I don't know if the Bridgestone are a softer compound but in 25 years of driving I have never had a puncture until I got my first BMW with Bridgestones - in the last 4 years with 2 sets of Bridgestones I have had 4 punctures from nails and screws - now you could say that could be down to bad luck but interestingly nothing since switching to Goodyears. Given the choice I would avoid Bridgestone tires and certianly wouldn't recommend these.

Great tires, but down to the wear indicators in 10k miles. I normally get 25k out of the rear tires on my car.

I like the tires but on the wet they don't offer much security. I know the car is heavy (mazda 6) but for factory tires i was expecting much more.

As I said, not bad tires, just uncomfortable and loud for me. For your first class car these tires are perfect choice, as you said.

Given 90% while driving a Mazda MX5 (205/50 R16) on a combination of roads for 25,000 average miles
Second set of these brilliant tires on 2006 Mazda MX5. Dry grip is superb, the sidewalls are quite firm but I like that. Got about 25,000 miles out of them which is pretty good. They have worn evenly, but that's more to do with the MX5. I highly recommend these, I don't get all the poor reviews, must be crap cars that don't handle properly.

Given 66% while driving a Fiat 500X (215/55 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 5,000 average miles
It's only 6000km is used, wear is not significant, safe but very uncomfortable and loud tire. Factory assembly, a new car, but the Pirelli winter was much more comfortable and quieter. Unlike the name is not a good point to go touring with them. I'm thinking of something comfortable and quiet rubber exchange.

Given 64% while driving a Honda Civic 1.8 (225/45 R17 W) on a combination of roads for 10,000 average miles
Came as std fit on 2016 civic tourer auto done 10k miles on them had some aquaplaning on the back end tires are very pressure sensitive and ride suffers from only 1psi drop as does fuel economy and grip levels. In the dry they cling on well enough and well outlast experiences with continental at same mileage not as wooden as Michelin either. Handle deep water better than great condition despite keeping heat in the tire well does take time to experiment and find optimum pressure setting for tires on car for best all round economy life and grip. Have 70% on fronts left and about 80-85% rear left will rotate when serviced would expect to do 3yrs and 30k miles on the one set before replacement mix of town and motorway loaded and empty. Overall not too bad for the tires and returning 35mpg overall for petroll auto drop of 14% from manufacturers figures which you never meet anyway.

Deathtrap. That's an apt word for these tires. They came as stock with a new Mazda 6 Tourer. It beggars belief that they would decide to put these useless pieces of rubber on their cars. Wheel spin when setting off and loss of traction on bends even at moderate speeds. In the wet they are simply appalling and it is like driving on an ice rink. If we get any snow or ice, I may have to leave the car at home. The worst tires I have ever had.
