Ranked #7 of 7
Finishing 7th out of 7 competitors, the Bridgestone Weather Control A005 did not impress in this particular evaluation, being branded with a final rating of 'Poor'. While it excelled, achieving the best scores in several key disciplines such as dry braking, dry driving behavior, safety, ice braking, ice lateral guidance, wet braking, wet circle cornering, and wet handling, its performance was severely compromised by its very weak performance on snow. This significant shortfall overshadowed its top-notch results on dry and wet surfaces, underscoring a critical limitation in its all-round capabilities.
