Questions and Answers for the Bridgestone Supercat

2022-06-06 - Is the tyres 225/45R18 95W okey to run on snowy roads? We are planning to drive from Brisbane to Perisher Ski Resort, need to know if the tyres are suitable for winter conditions over there. Please advise

The Bridgestone Supercat is not snow rated so I would expect it to have very low grip in winter conditions.

Given 50% while driving a Nissan X Trail 2.5 petrol (225/60 R17) on a combination of roads for 22 average miles
Dry grip is good but wet isn’t good and atrocious When I drive around a round about that is on a hill, I have to drive really slow or else the car spins out and stability control helps to save it. They have lasted around 35,000-40,000 km. Don’t buy these please especially if you don’t have stability control and awd and traction control!

Shocking grip in the wet even driving slow. Dry grip better and acceptable for everyday driving. I bought a 2 year old kia carnival which was an ex hire vehicle which explains why it had cheap tyres installed. I replaced them after a few months because i didnt feel safe with them even though i could of got a few more years out of them. I replaced them with some premium tyres and its transformed the driving experience. Do not buy Bridgestone Supercats

DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES!!!!!!
These have been the worst Tyres I have ever had on any vehicle. after only 40000KM lumps began falling off revealing the wire mesh. Some damage was caused from curbs in parking, therefore very low speeds. I mostly drive highways and local suburban streets. These Tyres have endured some large trips and I have never felt confident with them on the vehicle. In the wet they are dangerous - they have no grip, you slid around corners even at very low speeds roundabouts and signal light turns you can only pull away slowly or you are straight away slipping and sliding all over the road, they should not be allowed to sell a trye as poor quality as these. I had the Tyres reviewed/ assessed by the original installers and was told they need to be replaced at 47000km these are the smallest Kilometers I have ever had from a set of Tyres. They are not down to the wear indicator, but the rubber has gone "soft" were the words of the assessor and I was advised NOT to drive on dirt roads as more lumps were likely to come off. I purchased these on special at $190/ tyre and had a care plan which I maintained for balancing and rotation. They have worn evenly.
DO NOT BUY THESE TYRES!!!!!!

Given 70% while driving a Ford ba falcon (225/45 R17) on mostly town for 11,000 easy going miles
Purchased ten years old.
Very durable tread. Low usage but tyre tough and lasting. You discover care needed in wet and oily.
Possibly the cheapest but value street or highway tyre.

Given 54% while driving a BMW 325 (205/60 R15) on mostly town for 10 easy going miles
I agree with other comments regarding these tyres Dry road I would say is OK good almost; Wet road absolutely wild Almost zero grip
I have two pirellis on front two Supercat on the back
Round-abouts are worst On wet roads the back just slips and slides
Have had Michelin tyres previously which were bad enough on wet/damp roads But these worse Then again they are half the price So, You get what you pay for
I’m a very sedate passive mature driver I don’t take risks on the road

DO NOT BUY THESE IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! These came with the seconds hand car when I bought it and these are outright dangerous if the roads are even slightly wet. These should not be legal I am replacing them with plenty of tread remaining because they are that much dangerous. These tyres have changed my driving style due to how slippery they are when wet. It's like driving on ice. I almost drove off a cliff when the wheels locked up at less than 50km/h with very light braking on a rainy day. luckily I stopped braking and was able to control the car. And that was not the first time or the last time. I have seen lot of similar reviews about the poor wet grip of these tyres. On dry roads the grip is OK. I haven't had these long enough to comment about the life time.

Given 46% while driving a Honda Accord Euro (225/45 R17) on mostly country roads for 13,000 spirited miles
STAY AWAY: Car had these when I bought it - my first car, and while in the dry they were perfectly acceptable, the moment there was any moisture on the roads they fell to pieces. wet handling wasn't poor, it was outright dangerous. Starting from traffic lights, going around a roundabout, etc in the wet and they might as well be a traction control testing system as it would engage every time and I could feel the car wanting to slide. Ised them until they ran out, replaced with Michelin and the difference in how confident I am with the car in any condition is just night and day.

I have these Bridgestone Supercat A/T fitted to my Jeep Grand Cherokee Lerado. I travel about 20000 ks a year and have had no issues with this tyre on a heavy 4x4. They have excellent grip in all conditions and a excellent road feel. I hope that this tyre is available when time comes to replace them. I will definitely buy them again.

Rubbish. As others have said, unsafe. These should be illegal to sell in Australia. My wife's CX-3 was dangerous to drive in the wet. Ok on dry. I recently hired a Corolla that had the same tyres and did the exact same thing in wet conditions. I almost crashed it as it started to drift off my lane. Thankfully no one was around. No buying ANY Bridgestone tyre ever again.

Given 34% while driving a Hyundai elantra (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 easy going miles
These tyres are fitted to a recently purchased Elantra SR Turbo which I drove through Chain Of Ponds - a very familiar road. The side walls are very soft, they look under inflated even at recommended pressure. They absorb bumps in the road quite well and are very quiet. That's where the good points end. Cornering grip is extremely low, response to sharp steering inputs almost non existent. Mild acceleration out of corners has the car battling wheel spin even with traction control on.They do not inspire confidence. I've not driven in the wet or had to brake suddenly, I hope I never have to. Will be changing as soon as possible.

Given 84% while driving a Honda Fit (Jazz) (225/45 R17) on mostly motorways for 56,000 average miles
Very good tires for a car that is used for commuting. They were a well priced tire for what they do, they are quiet, grip I can say is average, as I don't drive on the limit. They lasted for 5 years and 56 000 miles. I am definitely buying these again. I can say the only issue is that on a smooth parking garage floor they squeal when turning, but nothing to complain about.
