Very well in all condition
Fine but to be frank I can’t tell if they are better or worse than their predecessors.
Tyres are noisy, possibly due to front ones having faulty valves and deflating slowly.
Very good in the wet and dry conditions.
Good all weather performance. Very low rolling resistance in dry.
They do the job without any fuss or drama. Steering, braking, comfort all fine. Slightly different road noise (they *are* fitted to my electric van so I can hear these sounds easily) but not annoying at all. Wear is hard to gauge as yet but I can't tell there's much after a year. Economy is outstanding now, I used to get around 4.3 miles/kWh, I now get between 5 and 5.7, a minimum of a 16% increase in range! Wow!
Like driving on ice....
Worst tires I have ever had fitted to a car. These replaced Michelin PS4 SUVs that I was running on my 2020 VW Allspace and were recommended by the tyre shop as PS5s weren't available at the time. While these are ok in the dry, they are like driving on ice skates in the wet. At this rate, Id rather run the Hankook Evos that my Allspace was originally fitted with. Fit these at your peril is all I can say.

Very pleased with performance in heavy rain, better ride than previous Bridgestones. About 6mm left after a year, so be good for 20k on our BMWi3.
Good all round but easily overcome by my electric car’s torque in damp or very wet conditions.
Have lots grip and 8 mpg more than before on long run
