I might be one of the first people to buy Bridgestone winter tires and I've never regretted it. I used them for 2 years, and now I'm thinking of switching to all-season tires, so I'll be looking for other options. After 40,000 km, the insides of the rear tires wore out; I think it's related to the alignment and balance, so I'll be replacing them.

Fitted for alfa giulia so mixed setup 225/255. Potent tire but I feel like LM005 was a bit more focus, bit stiffer.
