Given 0% (breakdown) while driving a Volvo S60 TS (---)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
Bridgestone RE050A on S60 higher power cars. Awesome cornering grip which adds zest to the cars handling, which on previous Nexen rubber was all at sea. Also got nearly 20,000 miles out of them. Strong side wall not only protects rims but gives great steering response and assured motorway directional stability. If you enjoy pressing on in a the 200bhp+ versions of the S60 these are worth a look.

Given 73% (breakdown) while driving a Subaru Legacy (215-45-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 36,000 spirited miles
2 and a half sets at 36k! Yes, they do wear, wouldn't just put it down to my driving style, or the weight of the car (1515kg). Not the most silent tyres I've used, but not too bad, very grippy in the dry, decent under heavy braking too. Would definately buy again - as I keep doing. One thing to point out - these tyres are OEM on some of the exotics and high performance manufacturers, so they must be half decent at least!
