Bought 4 of these for my CRV IV used in Jura mountains(340000km and many tyres fitted on it)
These tyres are confortable, quiet and quite good in wet weather...when they are brand new. That's it for the pros.
Now the cons: like the previous LM001 I bought a long time ago, do no expect any traction on snow hill climb. The 4WD is always trying to give a push to the tyres (compared to the best I had regarding this aspect which were Dunlop WS5 with whom I nearly never used the 4WD system on the same snowy roads).
Now the worst. I drive 50000km per year. Brand new tyres mounted by the end of October. Those tyres were nearly totally unable to handle snow by the end of January. 5mm remaining, destroyed blocks and hard rubber not handling even on wet roundabouts.
And I'm driving on relatively good mountain roads.
The only comparable as bad tyres I had, regarding fast wear, were Nokian WRD4 (with my previous Volvo car, not this one).
Just to compare, the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 lasted nearly 38000 km before reaching 4mm of rubber, the snow limit width.
I'll never ever will by Bridgestone again.
The price per kilometre is far more expensive with these Bridgestone compared to Michelin Pilot Alpin or Goodyear UGPgen1 or +(>35000km to 4mm) the best I had regarding wear or even Nokian WRSUV 4 (25000km to reach 4mm of rubber) I had previously on this car.
The funniest tyres to drive I had with this car where Dunlop Winter sport 5. The best snow traction I had and very easy to drive in snow (slippier than Michelin or GY but very easy and fun to control on snow, like skiing with the car, but they need a little training every winter)
I bought a pair of Conti TS870p to test it during the next winter.
