Day to day the tyre suits the car, with decent grip in both dry and wet conditions. At town speeds the steering feels direct but has little road feel. This becomes more acute when cruising at higher speeds on roads with curves and undulations.
The worst problem has been the rate of wear.
After 6000 miles the front tyres have both lost a minimum of 2mm of tread across the full width of each tyre and the outside edge of the nearside tyre has lost 3mm.
The rear tyres have lost 1mm generally but nearly 2mm on the outside edge of the nearside wheel. After a four wheel alignment showed the suspension was all within manufacturers tolerances, it was suggested that persistent high speed cornering around right hand bends was the possible cause!
A first example of such wear and suggested cause after 17 long term cars!
Suzuki's recommended 39psi at the front and 36psi at the rear, presumably to facilitate the incredible 66 mpg average we have obtained measured brim to brim, may well be part of the problem. Tyre rotation is a short term remedy but long term a more enduring tyre is needed such the legendary long lived Michelin products.

These tyres are economical and ecological but on the wet road are really dangerous.
If you cross the limit of the grip, you cannot stop sliding. Wear is bad also.
I don't recommend.

Given 79% while driving a Volkswagen Passat 2.0TDI (205/55 R16) on a combination of roads for 12,000 average miles
Grip, steering precision and comfort are premium-class, but wore out quite quickly (after 20,000km there is still 4 to 5mm left, so it's not too bad). Everything else was great. Driving has been "easy going" mostly, but sometimes I have pushed them harder on curvy country roads and I always accelerate quite fast.

Given 96% while driving a Toyota Avensis (195/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Best summer tires for my avensis T22 so far, I ride aggressively, not avoiding wet/rain, no complaints, maybe only wear, I marked it for 7, because after 2 summers they are nearly out, hopefully they will survive upcoming summer which would be great, otherwise they are perfect. Will buy them again.

Given 81% while driving a Toyota Yaris (185/60 R15 H) on mostly town for 3,000 average miles
Aside from noise (not quieter, perhaps noisier than OE Dunlop SP 2030) and dubious fuel consumption claims (from our experience, fuel consumption is no better or worse than before), these Bridgestones are very good tyres. Good grip in the dry and wet, and I can actually get some useful road and steering feedback through the otherwise wimpy Yaris steering system!

Given 48% while driving a Nissan Pulsar Ti (195/60 R16) on mostly country roads for 0 average miles
Brand new tyres fitted to Nissan Pulsar 2013. After only 17,000Km the both front tyres had to be replaced. The rear tyres are good for only about another 2,000Km. This is after only 6 months of driving. Very unhappy.

Given 81% while driving a Hyundai Getz (175/65 R14) on mostly motorways for 31,000 easy going miles
I drove with them for about 50.000 km (3 years) mostly on main-roads but also on a variety of other type of roads (all in Greece).
I am very satisfied generally with them. Never had a flat tyre or other malfunction (although I 've fallen on nasty potholes, climbed some pavements etc) which is an important aspect to consider. After all this use they sow their age but they still have some more miles to cover before i replace them. (Only) negative: quite noisy for my taste. Would by again: Yes!
