All season tire that feels closer to summer than winter. Seems that it is gaining a bit of grip in the wet over dry. Can't say more over what had been already said. The official Tirereviews.com opinion is spot on. Left with around 5mm of tread after 11k miles.

Initilally the tires performed well on my new Hyundai Tucson Hybrid but increasingly the performance deteriorated. After 35,000 km the profile is now between 4 mm for the rear tires and 5 mm for the front tires. This is strange for a front wheel driven car but probably caused by cupping of the rear tires. What I don't like about the tires is the less than expected fuel consumption (about 10% worse than similar cars with summer tires) The worst experience after 35,000 km is the noise of the tires which has risen to unacceptable levels.

I've been using these tires for a couple of months. I like the ride and noise levels however the grip is significantly worse the the previous All Season tires I had on the car. On the previous tires I very rarely saw the traction control light and then only on swift starts from junctions. These tires scrabble for grip from junctions and I have spun the wheels under acceleration at 20 to 30mph in a straight line on only slightly damp roads. I have only had to brake sharply once with these tires which was on a damp road they easily lost traction so again not impressive. I certainly won't be buying again and will return to my previous choice.

Living quite high up in Central Scotland, we need tires that can safely transport our children in snow and ice. However, while we will always get some days with inclement weather, the majority of days are dominated dry or wet conditions. Having done a lot of homework I went against the grain and plumped for Bridgestone A005 Weather Control Evo over Michelin CrossClimates, willing to accept less snow performance for improved dry and wet ability. My thinking for this was that if the weather was too bad for even an allseason tire, then it was probably too dangerous to venture out at all - we drive a Yaris, not a Defender.

The tires was bolted on September 2021, replacing a set of Dunlop SP Sports. In comparison, the car felt soft and bouncy to the old summer tires, but as the weeks progressed and temperatures dropped you could feel the tire come alive and adapting. The best thing I could say is that in cold conditions it feels perfectly normal - like a summer tire in summer.

In dry and wet conditions the car feels planted and safe, and while handling is definitely not as sharp as a summer tire, this isn’t the reason why you buy these tires. Doing mostly town driving I have noticed a small hit on fuel, probably 5% or so over the old Dunlops, but again, it’s a price I’m willing to pay for safety in winter. On long journeys, which we do occasionally, noise is similar to a summer tire and the car is comfortable and predictable, though maybe a bit pillowy at higher speeds.

Which brings me to snow and ice performance. As I write, we have just completed some short but perilous journeys up and down some particularly steep hills. I know snow performance is meant to be the Achilles heel of this tire, but compared to a summer tire it is phenomenal. As cars all around us got stuck and parked up, our Yaris kept sailing on. We passed an assortment of family hatches and SUVs as we made our way about town, with good feedback at all times from the front wheels. There is no shortage of grip while accelerating or cornering, while braking is predictable and safe, even going downhill. It’s like a little mountain goat.

While reviews say that other allseason tires improve upon the Bridgestone in cold weather , I’m very pleased with the performance. Through two winters we have never been stuck or struggled to get home or to collect our children in weather that can hit quickly and make driving conditions treacherous. I’ve not driven on Michelin CrossClimates or other brands, but can’t imagine being any more impressed than I am with the A005. Again, given where we live and the geography we drive on, if we needed more snow and ice performance then a full winter would probably be more appropriate.

Wear rate has also been mentioned and while I have noticed some wear on the outside edges on the front pair, I’m not unduly worried and would easily expect another two or three years of driving.

Overall, I’m really impressed and while I would be intrigued to try another brand, having peak dry and wet performance for most of the year, with the fallback of decent snow performance when we need it, means I’m very happy with choosing the Bridgestones. It’s a great all-rounder.

A massive improvement over the oem fitment in most respects. Road noise has definitely increased but the vehicle really holds the road in all conditions now. At no point has it felt like I'm even close to the grip limit with these tires, very reassuring. Marked down for feedback, but the Rav4 is not a drivers car and feedback is not it's strong point, I suspect it would be very difficult to know where the limit of these tires are until the dashboard tells me otherwise.

Comfortable.

Big wheel sizes prefer full winter tires to All-Season but if you live like I do in a mild climate such as the Southeast of England, they often are the best choice. Divided between the new Continental All-Season or the Bridgestone WeatherControl Evo, I went to the latter as they were available and nicely priced for the size I needed. Pros: - Steering feel and road feedback are excellent for a all-season tire that has loads of tread blocks. - Impressive shallow water grip at low temperatures (looses a bit as they get up but not terrible). - Comfortable and relative low noise - Overall feeling is quite good and could be at times be perceived as a mid range summer tire rather than an All-Season Cons: - Wear far too quickly. I don't believe they would last 20k miles or get to see the second year of ownership if used all year round. - Again, wear. As temperatures start to go up they generate far too much heat and with a soft sidewall you can see the changes on dry grip happening and the wear marks on it - expect to see bits of rubber literally coming out! - Ice and snow grip isn't on par with the best of new all season tires. Be mindful that for locations that see little snow this might not be an issue, but when it falls and quickly gets compressed, they might let you down. Conclusion: - They are not the best out there but quite satisfactory on this large size; - For fast cars on mild climates they retain quite good stirring feeling and feedback; - They are excellent in the rain with low temperatures, and while aquaplaning resistance isn't the best, it has never been an issue; - They wear far too quickly for an all season tire, having only encountered similar wear on full winters driven in warm summer locations. - Fairly priced.

I had the predecessor to this tire, the Bridgestone Weather Control pre A005 version and found it to be the best tire I'd ever used in wet weather conditions. The A005 version, although it looks different in tread design, has the same excellent performance in wet weather. Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the wear/longevity as the full set wore down to the markers in only 9000 miles. This is obviously a very soft compound which improves the cold and wet weather performance but when driven year round, as in my case, the tire life is much shorter than i expected. Whilst I am using a heavy vehicle (Peugeot Expert Tepee) I have the correct XL load rated tire and do not heavily load the vehicle and I have not driven at high speeds on motorways. I think I'll get a rock hard van specific tire next time. TLDR: Good grip, dissapointing wear.

Dry Grip good, excellent Wet Grip, Road Feedback Handling nothing extraordinary, bad Wear, normal Comfort, bad Snow Grip Ice Grip, I would not buy them again

The 005 EVO is the best all-season tire for winter that I have ever had, far superior to the Pirelli Scorpion and Conti all season that are being used on the RRs. It handles great in deep snow, steep inclines with compacted snow (compared directly to Nokian SUV3s), wet subzero highways and wet cornering as well. I hope they will be at least nearly as dependable in the summer as well.

Purchased a set of 4 in September 2021 because I thought I was buying the best. I was wrong. In January 2022, one of the tires failed after only 1000 miles. A 150mm section of the tire tread had separated from the side wall. This could have proved catastrophic at high speed.

My Jeep Renegade came with Bridgestone Blizzak wintertires from the factory, which is a bit odd especially since it is produced in sunny Italy. Very noisy and quite useless on anything but snow. So I changed them with these All Seasons before they were worn, mainly based on the Tirerieview.com test. Main reason was the the excellent wet performance of the non-Evo Weathercontrol A005, in exchange for snow performance. This should be better with this one, but since I live in The Netherlands that is not really an issue for me. The tires are very quiet, have very good dry grip. On cold and wet roads the do perform better then any other winter or all season tire (Michelin, Bridgestone, en Dunlop included) I have ever had experience with. Steering feel is non-existent, but that is probably mainly due to the little Jeep itself and the tall walls. Tire wear isn't noticeable yet, but then they are just 2 months and 4k miles old. Lovely tires and I should have replaced the OEM Blizzaks much earlier.
