Very grippy in the dry, but it got better after more then 28k kilometers. Very tail happy in the wet tho. Very important to keep in mind when driving in the wet with a rear wheel drive car. The longer i have them the better the handling becomes. Very loud and not comfortable at all, also fuel consumption is not great and gets worse over the years, grip gets better tho. So that's the trade-off. Now 40k kilometers of quite spirited driving and even burnouts at 100kph when giving full throttle, but still easily 3mm left on all wheels. It isn't possible to switch back to front, due to different wheel sizes. Still they wear evenly, this is something I never experienced before. Very interesting. The tyres are stock on the bmw from the factory in christmas 2017, now its october 2022 and the rubber is still fine even though it has been in -20 Celsius and +40 Celsius degrees for weeks, just sitting there in the elements, this happened multiple years. Looks like new from the side. Although I don't think these tyres will last longer then my recordholders: vredestein ultrac satin and vredestein quatrace, they will last most definitly longer then average. Which is a shame because i want to try new ones. So far my favorite UHP tyre for general purpose is the yokohama advan fleva v701 and i want to try these on the BMW, see how they handle more power. Sadly they dont have a sidewall and the sidewall on this bridgestone is the thickest i ever had so far.
