    Running 245 35 20 on Pontiac G8 GT. Tyre pressures 38 - 40 psi. These are not ice/snow winter tyres so should not be rated for severe winter conditions for which they were not designed. These are a performance tyre with a softish compound , not an endurance tyre , so you are not going to get high mileage from them. However running them at the wrong tyre pressure (as I am sure many do) will significantly increase wear. From past experience I expect to get approx 24000 miles from the tyres before they need replacing which is quite acceptable/good for a performance tyre. So far I have found them quiet and sticky in dry , damp/slick and very wet road conditions. All tyres will become more slippery in the wet with age and once the tread wears down to 15% or so. Various Bridgestone performance tyres I have used in the past are no different. Overall these are very good tyres and are well built unlike many lesser tyres where quality controls can be average to poor. I have never had any kind of issue with any Bridgestone tyres and I am on my 8th set of this brand. The only downside with these tyres is the price. But with tyres you usually get what you pay for.

    Unacceptable short tread life on this tire. Road noise is unacceptably high for a tire this price. Underwhelming in all other aspects. Buy something else.

    No rating on snow driving condition. Tare weight of my car is around 1490kgs. Guess the tire can exceed its performance on a heavier car.

    Not sure why people comment about these tires in the snow....uh these tires are summer tires. Meaning they are ONLY supposed to be use on dry/wet pavement but not snow. Treadwear is poor, dry is great, wet is ok.

    The worst tires in wet conditions i have ever had. I had many sports cars in the past so i can say that i am not an inexperienced driver. With these tires i was in danger several times!
