I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
GT Radial are better price with better performance Zero complaints would recommend.
Traction is fantastic ????
These tires are absolutely amazing the grip is excellent drive is smooth quiet and stops on a dime. Firestone were absolutely shit. The Firestone wore out from general use way ahead of manufacturing specs. Wore my brakes out more than once. Never stopped as intended. Slip and spin when it rained had traction issues during dry weather. I would absolutely recommend GT radial.
They ride great, have great traction in wet weather and do not seem to exhibit excessive wear. Well priced compared to Bridgestones and I have no complaints.
Bridgestone Turanza Quiettracks. Rock. (A huge improvement vs OEM Michelin Energy Saver A/S tires.) Based on my past experience with this and other Michelin tires, not entirely sold on the Michelin brand.
I've been driving all types of vehicles on all types of tires for more than 50 years. The two best value tires I ever owned were Douglas (identical tread and design as my original Pirelli P77's) on an AWD Volkswagon Quantum and a set of Bridgestone Turanzas on a Mitsubishi Diamante (smooth and quiet as driving on glass). Both of these tires gave me over 52,000 miles of excellent service.
The GT Radial SX2 is 200tw and there are a few super cheap sizes out there. I like them enough that this is my second set.
Went from Ecopia Summer tires to all-weather and dropped 7mpg avg on a prius. Good tires, but interesting the mpg drop was so vast.
It's doesn't matter what you do. Seems like Bridgestone tires only last around 40 ish. Learned that with the quiettracks.
I stopped buying bridgestone when my blizzaks was down to 50% tread after one winter.
