Aside from Canada 2010, can confirm, Bridgestone tires are durable and great. Own a set on my road car. Well priced too. 10/10. Would equip again.
I basically encounter the same conditions in winter as you do. After having driven many years on winter tyres (Dunlop Winter Sport 5), I switched over to an all-season (Bridgestone Turanza All Season 6).
The benefits in my opinion are better responsiveness while turning in (less block movement of the thread) and the better longevity of the tyre, considering it has to somewhat withstand 30°C+ temperatures by design.
Mine came with the potenza s005. The performance was great but the tire wore out with just 8k miles. To give some prospective, I replaced them with Michelin PS4S and at 6k miles they still measure 7/32 from the factory 9/32. The PS4S provided similar grip levels too.
Mine came with Hankook which didn't even last a tank of gas before I put new rims/tires on which made a HUGE difference. Ended up going with Bridgestone Sports which compete with the Michelin PS4S. Never have looked back. Great tire and really transformed the handling of the car.
Mine came w the Bridgestones - Potenza S0005 - they are excellent. Grip is so good that w UHP all seasons on the difference in grip is really noticeable - this car has such high limits/power that the difference is significant. Yes, the Bridgestones are noisy, especially on the highway.
I used to have BT-023s, unlike many here I thought they were fine (and better than the BT-021s I had before). But yeah, *looooong* warm-up time...
I have BT023s on my old Triumph, on my second set now and my choice is extremely limited due to the rare tyre size it has! Never had any problems with them, rode through last winter on them and they were 100%.
My friend’s nc had 71rs and after 7 track days he’s finally starting to see excessive shoulder wear.
The exact thing happened to me a few weeks back with those Bridgestones. I've never had a new tire like that malfunction.
Hey I had Bridgestone and they behaved noticeably worse in snow than Micheline cc2 or Goodyears I have now, much happier with them than Bridgestone cheers
