For amazing 2 years and half i wore it. Daily driving to work travel back and forth. Amazing tyre but my sizing rims not fit to 205/45 tyre feel a bit stretch. But for the high speed quite noise for my car, because of the size of my rims. Touge on Genting, ulu yam and so on i feel like wow this tyre definitely grip but a bit soft. After i change to 215/45 yes! Comfort mode turn on. What a amazing city run and yes still using until today. Definitely worth the money for tight budget.

Writing about the Continental Premium Contact 2 given 94% (215-45-16-H)
Driving on mostly motorways for 20000 spirited miles
Had these on my mk5 vw polo. By far one of the best tyres in the premium class.
Grip in the dry is very good and confidence inspiring. Still excellent in the wet. Will aquaplane a little in extremely wet conditions. Does well to maintain traction when taking off from standstill. Wear is also reasonably good. I like how quiet they are as well.

Writing about the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 given 78% (185-60-15-V)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
This is my first set of All Season tyres. Before I was using summer tyres (Dunlop) and Nokian winter tyres (can't remember on top of my head models). I am driving with WeatherControl tyres for almost 1 year now.
What I found is that Bridgestone A005 are incredibly comfortable compared to the Nokian as well as to Dunlop. Nokian were very noisy and handling was not always pleasant because too soft on side. Dunlop were simply terrible tyres even if handling in summer was a little bit better than the A005.
During summer A005 perform well on dry surfaces but the best you can get out of them is on wet. I was really impressed by the stability of the car and even by the sense of safety that you can get from the steering. During winter and wet condition I had same feeling.
On Snow unfortunately is not really the best tyres you can have. Of course compared to my previous Nokian we are far behind but I was expecting to have a bit more. I had issues a couple of times on soft snow and ice where was quite complicated to arrive up to the hills (I am quite experienced driver with almost 25 years of driving, living on mountains for almost 20 years).
If I will be asked to buy A005 again I will definitely go for them again but only on small-mid size car. For bigger cars I would look at Michelin CrossClimate/CrossClimate+ or the newest Verdestein Quatrac Pro.

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 given 89% (205-45-17-W)
Driving on mostly town for 19000 spirited miles
I've been using my PS4 since 2017 April. Up till now (30k km), it still work quite impressive. Dry condition, superb... wet condition, excellent until you reach 50% of usage...then it start to skid a little bit when its raining and when you hit puddle ( note that this happen when i drove my car above 60mph)

Dry condition, yes totally superb. I'm a spirited driver and once have a trackday in Sepang using this tyre. The feedback was superb and I love it. Sharp turn is predictable and easy to handle around Sepang. Sidewall is stiff and makes the tyre last longer.
