Tyre reviews Bridgestone Ice Cruiser 5000 184

Hello everyone.
Reached with the car. Spent 6 seasons. The studs have worn off. I got bored and just took them off. Drove without them in 2016, actually rode on the ice of a lake like a cow. Although if the head is on, you can still get some grip with them, and the snow and asphalt hold well. Spring came and then summer, 170 km/h was easy. I drove on them to Georgia and back 5.

Mounted on ACORD SI RT
Ran 2 winters, lost about 5-7% of tread
Very pleased, at the moment, the best winter tires I've ever driven on
Aggressive driving style, not every winter tire can withstand such loads at such a driving style
Performed well on a winter track where there is snow and 100% ice, as the track is on a frozen lake........ PHENOMENAL braking on ice, just

I've been using these tires for 5 winters now, and I'm quite satisfied. The mileage is around 40,000 kilometers, and the wear is no more than 50%. I'm absolutely sure it can handle the same amount of mileage again. The size is 195/65 R15. I particularly like its excellent directional stability, wear resistance, and durability. The obvious drawbacks are mediocre traction on ice and noise when the tires are new. As the studs wear out, the hum

Out of all the winter tires I've used so far, this one is the best! On a race track it behaves more than decently, on a snow-covered track it handles around 100 km/h. In deep snow it behaves very decently! Snow 20-30 cm! Pulls the car out once! In the mountains only on her in winter! Ran 3 seasons - studs still in place! Tire is quite predictable and controllable! I'm happy!

Rigid, noisy. Weak on ice, good on snow.
I've been driving on these tires for two winters, about 40,000 km. During this time, not a single stud has fallen out! I drove mainly in the city, which means often non-snowy asphalt, tram and rail tracks, manholes, potholes, etc. Resume: good for snow, never skidded, in my opinion. I'll also add the sturdy sidewall to the

Good tire. Well-known brand. A bit noisy, but the noise decreases after running-in. Brakes super on any surface. The rubber is definitely not for Michelin fans)). I wanted to take UG Extreme, but it was not available. I took Bridgestone and do not regret it at all. One more observation: the tire tends to skid when starting, which was not noticed on UG500, but when braking, it grips perfectly... all IMHO.

I've had this tire for over three winters and it's never lost its tread. I've only replaced it once, after two years, and that was only because I needed a new one, not because it was worn out. I sold it to a friend and he says it's still a "bomb" tire. Handling: 5/5 Wearing: 5/5 It's a bit heavy, but that's not a big deal for me. I'll be buying another one for

I've been racing on it for 9 seasons, the tire is still in great condition, half the tread is still on, it's become too hard, so I replaced it with a new set of IC7000s, I believe it will do the same.

Excellent tire. The tread is still intact after 5 years of use. Bad braking, but it's great on the hills and acceleration from standstill. Noisy. Very durable, not easily damaged.

Bought in fall 2011, 215/50 R17 (price is long forgotten), managed to last the last season 2016. What do we have in the end: after the first 3 seasons, the tread has worn off a bit and 20-25% of the studs have blown out (I drive without wheelspin at traffic lights), after 5 seasons, the tread is about 3mm left and almost no studs are left, brakes perfectly both on snow and
