"These tires deliver as promised--on most cars. They are extremely quiet, smoothe, and offer excellent wet traction. For city driving by conservative drivers, they should be an excellent value. On the downside, they do not handle at all well on automobiles designed for H-rated OEM tires. Such was the case with my Chrysler Concorde LXi. The first thing I noticed about the Insignia was the complete loss of "on-center" feel, even at very low speeds. At 60mph or more, I had to hunt the car all over the road. The sidewall is simply too weak to handle a sporting-type suspension. If you drive long distances as I do, this constant correction could be quite fatiguing. Bridgestone is as good as their word on replacement within thirty days. Four days later, I returned to the dealer and traded the Insignias for a set of Cooper Lifeliner SLEs. I'm now well-satisfied."

"Have these on my very "unsporty" dodge shadow and ame quite satisfied. I've had them for a year now, and in all conditions the tires have performed well. Of course, I haven't made any hard maneuvers or anythng, but they drive well under highway and city conditions as well as in various weather conditions. I'd recommend them highly!!"

"I recently bought a set for my 2000 Subaru Forester L. These tires are great and what a price. I believe it's the best tire buy out there. And the tires look good on the Forester!"

"Okay, Bridgestone doesn't pretend the Insignia is a high performance tire, but they do deliver on traction, handling, and comfort for a mildly sporty luxury car. I recently replaced a set of Goodyear Eagle GA's on my 1994 Olds 88 LSS and I've been favorably impressed so far. Handling and traction are noticeably superior to the aforementioned Goodyears at an appreciably lower price and 25 percent longer treadlife warranty. I got 54,000 miles out of the Eagle GA's, which were rated at 45,000 miles. I'll be interested to see how the Insignias do on the same car."

"Have a 2000 Chevy Impala (3.4L) and pretty much echo a similar review. Have put on about 300+ miles and really notice a waddle/tail wagging effect with these tires at highway speeds. Not bad for driving around town/city streets, but I do a heck of a lot more long distance driving and looking to replace/swap under the 30 day ride deal. The OEM Uniroyals Tiger Paw handled better (curves) and did not have me constantly adjusting for what seemed like the time flexing up and down on the side wall. Looking for a tire with a side wall of 2 plies. Would think it would be a good improvement if Bridgestone added an additional sidewall tred to improve stiffness; especially on the larger size tires. Regards. "

"I have a 4 banger Accord coupe. I thought these would meet needs, but I need a better than this. These tires squeal around every turn and at every light, and on wet roads they have the worst traction of any tire I've ever owned. To their credit, they never hydroplaned on my (and I drive pretty fast), and have a very nice ride. Curiously, they grip snow incredibly well I was passing where 4wd vehicles were spinning their wheels last winter. Also, their treadlife is quite good, 30K+ miles and still have a good deal of tread left. They are inexpensive too, so.. if you're on a budget... Though because of their very poor wet and dry traction, I cant recommend them. From now on, Im going to start paying more for better tires."

"I placed these tires new on a 200 Daewoo Nubira. The ride was like Ice. The cat waddled and actually changed lanes on straight when cresting a small bump. Scary Ride! Too soft sidewall for any sports type suspension. Would not recommend to anyone or any car! STAY AWAY Shame on Bridgestone."

"91 Toyota Corolla. Calgary Alberta (Canada) Just bought the tires today. They are 175/70/13. We don't have snow, yet, just wait and I'll report back. What I can tell you is the tires, installed, were about $400 + Tax. ( A little bit expensive for 13" tires.) Initial Impression Noise-I am a little disappointed, I really thought it would be quieter Good Ride-Expansion joints and small cracks are barely noticable now Reliability- I don't know, just got them.

"Bought these for my 99 Dodge Caravan short model van. Mostly use them for city, with some drives to the cottage. Tires did excellent in the snow, driving in poor conditions from Ottawa to Toronto. Blew one on the highway after hitting debris, and Bridgestone replaced it with NO hassle or problems. I'm happy and recommend them."

"I drive an Olds Cutlass Ciera and this tire blows away the Goodyears that were on it before. I also put this tire on a Ford 1972 LTD and it is performing well here."
