T7 Cali at Listers Droitwich. Bridgestone all season

[Californication69]

Saw these all season Bridgestones A005’s on the T7 Ocean at Listers today.
I did some measuring up of the T-track for solar creation !

Dreadfull tyre...... I had 4 sets on mine and I was happy to get rid of in the end. Wear was horrific ....... here are my CC 255/45/18 with 19k mileage on (front tyres!)

But you had 4 sets of them?

They were the only all season option in the 18in back in 2019......After 32k miles I moved across. I had the tracking checked a few times as well (3x) I think.....

The worse part is not constantly changing them but I put them on my Volvo XC70 (AWD) and they were shot after 19k miles and like the Cali exhibit camber pull once they start to wear

Will be changing mine out to cc later this year.

Good to know, thanks all.
I’ll see how fast I can strip them

My MOT history for the Cali is littered with tyre advisories even when I had a set to go on the van. Bognor decided to do the MOT first , advise on the tyres, and then change the tyres as requested....FFS

I had three punctures in one tyre with the Bridgestones. At that point I ditched the lot for cross climates. They are a brilliant tyre both in the wet and dry.
Anecdotally, where the Bridgestones would regularly wheel spin when pulling out of a junction, the CCs just grip!

In my experience they will let you down, unfortunately. Strip those Bridgestones quickly and drive like the !

Lets see if the torque from the electric motors strip front and rear equally

Hell yeah !
Oh actually, I’m going to take off the £235 option and keep the summer tyres.
Oh wait they’re Bridgestone too.
Damn.
No option on configurator for” tyres - No. “

On the plus side the Bridgestone A005 are fantastic in the pouring rain....more like a wet tyre
