Noisy and hard ride will replace soon but have only completed 2000 miles so far. 17 inch wheels need soft side wall with this suspension for more comfort. Could go to 50 section on Goodyear.

Moderate in the wet (greek) roads.

My car was originally fitted with Turanza ER300 and I absolutely loved those tires. Sporty and controllable, great feedback and precision. I bought T001 as a replacement as ER300 were not longer available and T001 was offered (on Bridgestone websites) as a logical replacement.
It was a total disappointment! There was nothing to compare with ER300. Soft, unpredictable, cheap family-car feeling.
BUT - as I found out later - that ACTUALLY there were different ER300 - some were soft walled and some much stiffer (mine car originals). But you could not tell the difference - no markings except some small letter codes (and i´m not 100% sure if it described the style either?).
WHAT IS THE POINT OF MAKING TOTALLY DIFFERENT STYLE TYRES UNDER EXACTLY THE SAME NAME AND MARK??? Are some just for original equipment - to feel ok on a test drive?
Perhaps there are stiff-wall T001 on the (open) market somewhere, but how to find them? Which secret codes reveal the "real" tire?
If someone could help with these questions, please. For now I drive and cry and later will stay clear of Bridgestones altogether. Does not make sense to choose blindly.

I was very pleased with this tire. Very good grip in dry and wet conditions (I live in Croatia in an area with lots of rain). Good and firm feedback on the steering wheel and relativly slow wear (lasted for approx. 37000 miles). They had excelent grip in wet until last few thousand miles when they had to be replaced due to thread depth less than min. 2mm.
Only drawback of this tire is quite a firm ride and relativly low comfort because of very stiff sidewalls. But I didn't mid it as it was probably a tradeoff for good steering whell feedback and responsivness.
Overall, an excelent touring tire, would definitly buy again.

As fitted OEM on my Mazda 6 Sport. I have found these superb during the dry/ warm/damp summer, however during a recent deluge of rain on a motorway run North, I found they were very quickly overwhelmed and even at quite modest speeds began to aquaplane quite severely.

These are a great tire however for a performance and premium brand they are great but my concerns arise as we head into winter and how they will perform. I plan to write a follow up in spring as I hope they are up to the task as I found on my last car running Goodyears.

2005 Impreza with 180,000 km has brand new KYB shocks, new ball joints, no steering wear and just aligned. So ... a new set of tires was required. The Bridgestones were a decent price at Costco, but after less than 500 km I'm returning them. The car feels unsafe and wriggles on every groove in the road. Twitch the steering side to side slightly on straight dry highway pavement and the Subaru feels like it's about to do a ground loop. Going round highway corners at 80 kmh it feels positively unsafe. The problem appears to be that the tire side walls are about a strong as wet spaghetti.

I would not recommend these tires to anyone.

Firstly, if there are folks who get < 15k miles out of these, I'm glad I don't drive on the same roads as them - and it must be terrifying for their passengers!
I take it easy, I drive a 7-seater, mostly motorways but with some long trips through Wales and I've not had any issues with them at all and there's plenty of mileage left..
I've not given a score for "at the limit" because I don't drive a racing car...

Tire is OK considering the price, but I expected more from Bridgestone. A couple times I was surprised in the wet, and there I was most disappointed. I think for the money you can buy a better tire of lower-cost producers.

Not a bad tire. Pretty safe for amateurs like me who really like to make things squeal when the time is right.

They seem to be very progressive (read, I am not dead yet) but overall grip isn't record breaking and the side walls are made of jelly. Cheap Aldi Jelly made with too much water.

I've had Bridgestone turanzas on a mazda 3 and 6 as the stock tires and have not been pleased either time. dry grip gives poor feedback on cornering with normal driving, but does start to improve when driven harder in summer and the tires have a chance to heat up. Wet grip feels poor when cornering, but adequate for linear braking. Very poor on snow and ice. Wear is very poor and will need changing at 30,000 miles (at £250 each), when other brands give 35,000+.
In summary: Fine when they're hot, but you'd only get 20,000 miles driving them that way.
Luckily Bridgestone aren't the only company making that size now.

I have 2 tires from 15k miles and i think they are good especially on the wet.After 15k miles i have 5.5mm.They are very good on the mountain's road with curve.

Fronts lasted 13k miles, rears 38k miles. Tire was grand, but expected to last longer on the fronts. Would buy again though.
