End of life update: I bought the set in December 2023, and just had them replaced in February 2026. Fitted the same set, although I noticed this new set was manufactured in Poland, not Hungary.
In the end, the tyres did about 40,500 miles, and mostly still had decent tread depth left. However, because they are directional, garages don't rotate them even though they would have benefited from a front-rear swap. The rears ended up in a pretty bad shape, inner walls split, cords showing. With swapping and more gentle driving I reckon they could have gone to 50k. I'm not a hard accelerating driver but the car has done more than 10,000 miles on European motorways at speeds above 80 mph, including some extended 90-100 mph runs. As for performance, never had an issue in any condition (-10 to 40 degrees C) or at any speed. They are not a direct tyre, there is no sportiness, drama, but I don't mind at all, my motoring is about touring, and for that, I find them comfortable and confident.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I find these tyres impressive for their excellent combination of ride comfort, quiet running, and grip. The Lexus IS300h does not have the most sophisticated suspension, it does well on good tarmac, particularly at speed, but can be rough around town and on broken pavement. These Bridgestones make it feel like the car has upgraded suspension, the ride feels much more plush, the tyres absorb a great deal of the vibrations from rolling on the road surface. It is a similar sensation when you put much more comfortable shoes on. They are also surprisingly quiet, not generating the humming background noise that is so typical of many combos of tyres and cars.
All the while, the grip is just there, even you send the car into an apex at speed. There is no drama, no complaining, no slipping, just quietly keeping the car on the road.
My comparison is to OEM Yokohamas and Pirelli Cinturato All Seasons, this set feels immediately superior.
I'm very early into these tyres, yet to experience truly winterly conditions with them, but truly impressed so far.
