Yay! That must have felt good after so long (and so much £££!)I drive mine for the first time in 8-9 months

This inspired me to check with Pirelli about the prospect of the undoubted winner of that test, the P Zero R, being made in a Yarisy fitment.Yes winter wheels are at the ready, but I'm one tyre down after my bump in December, which dragged the tyre off the rim. They put an old mismatched tyre on and it's held air fine since then, and no visible damage to the tank-like speedline wheel so I'm eyeing up trying a set of the Crossclimate 3 Sports on them and hopefully won't need a new wheel. There's still over half the tread left on them though, seem to last forever!
The Tyre Reviews YouTube channel and website is great for this stuff.
The new Bridgestone scored highly for handling and fun and it feels it. Tyre wear doesn't bother me too much at that price, and when splitting out my mileage across two sets. Some of the offers at the moment are putting them at around £85 per tyre for a set of 4 fitted which seems like ridiculous value to me.
The red door handles are partly due to laziness, but I do quite like them, and they protect a bit from my better half's rings
It's not good news

Sounds like you're doing something right! Mine has had to do a big chunk of boring motorway miles so far, something I'm hoping to reduce now that I've got a new job. Then I can try and eat my tyres up like the rest of you
Yes I was pretty disappointed when I saw how much he raved about them and then checked the availability. I feel like I'm seeing a few tyres now in 19" and above, which seems crazy when I still consider an 18" wheel on a hatchback pretty big! I'm definitely pleased with the Bridgestones, and I imagine if the PS S5 comes out in our size it'll be quite a bit more expensive.This inspired me to check with Pirelli about the prospect of the undoubted winner of that test, the P Zero R, being made in a Yarisy fitment.

On a side note, I'm pretty glad I didn't go for wider wheels at this point. 225/40 R18 really seem to be the sweet spot in terms of £££.
As well as winning the most recent evo magazine all round best tyre test, aren’t the Bridgestones the new OEM GR Yaris tyre for all MY26/27 cars?Sounds like you're doing something right!
