Bridgestone all season **Source:** https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/threads/t7-cali-at-listers-droitwich-bridgestone-all-season.58407/ **Posts:** 14 --- ### — 2025-05-26T20:00:02+0200 (May 26, 2025) 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 ! ![IMG_5748.jpeg](images/img_5748-jpeg.136535 "IMG_5748.jpeg") --- ### — 2025-05-26T20:07:50+0200 (May 26, 2025) 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!)** ![IMG20250524112450.jpg](images/img20250524112450-jpg.136537 "IMG20250524112450.jpg") ![IMG20250524112437.jpg](images/img20250524112437-jpg.136538 "IMG20250524112437.jpg") --- ### K — 2025-05-26T21:45:22+0200 (May 26, 2025) > [pjm-84 said:](/goto/post?id=747672) > > Dreadfull tyre......

But you had 4 sets of them? --- ### — 2025-05-26T22:19:41+0200 (May 26, 2025) 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 --- ### — 2025-05-26T22:41:26+0200 (May 26, 2025) Will be changing mine out to cc later this year. --- ### — 2025-05-26T23:30:16+0200 (May 26, 2025) Good to know, thanks all. I’ll see how fast I can strip them ![;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Wink ;)") --- ### — 2025-05-26T23:38:53+0200 (May 26, 2025) 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 --- ### — 2025-05-26T23:53:58+0200 (May 26, 2025) > [pjm-84 said:](/goto/post?id=747697) > > My MOT history for the Cali is littered with tyre advisories even when I had a set to go on the van.

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! --- ### — 2025-05-26T23:56:54+0200 (May 26, 2025) > [Californication69 said:](/goto/post?id=747693) > > Good to know, thanks all. > I’ll see how fast I can strip them ![;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Wink ;)") > > Click to expand... In my experience they will let you down, unfortunately. Strip those Bridgestones quickly and drive like the ![:Stig](/data/customsmile/old/stig.gif "Stig :Stig")! --- ### — 2025-05-27T08:51:14+0200 (May 27, 2025) > [Kayleigh said:](/goto/post?id=747700) > > I had three punctures in one tyre with the Bridgestones.

Lets see if the torque from the electric motors strip front and rear equally ![:D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 "Big Grin :D") --- ### — 2025-05-27T08:52:58+0200 (May 27, 2025) > [Kayleigh said:](/goto/post?id=747701) > > In my experience they will let you down, unfortunately.

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. “ --- ### — 2025-05-27T15:21:50+0200 (May 27, 2025) On the plus side the Bridgestone A005 are fantastic in the pouring rain....more like a wet tyre --- ### — 2025-05-28T14:05:48+0200 (May 28, 2025) Well that’s kinda good news. Also I can’t change the build now. It’s locked in. So should get a build week soon. Happy days. --- ### — 2025-05-28T15:52:25+0200 (May 28, 2025) > [Californication69 said:](/goto/post?id=747876) > > Well that’s kinda good news. > Also I can’t change the build now. > It’s locked in. > So should get a build week soon. > Happy days. > > Click to expand... You’ll just have to hammer them in the dry ![:Stig](/data/customsmile/old/stig.gif "Stig :Stig") ---
