Short braking distance on wet pavement. Low rolling resistance. Delayed steering response and average handling performance on snow. Average tread life. Conditionally recommended.

Good handling response and a short stopping distance on dry pavement. Low rolling resistance. Fuzzy steering response and prone to understeer on snow and wet pavement. Satisfactory.

Well-balanced performance. Good handling response and a short stopping distance on wet pavement. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Good longitudinal traction on snow. Insufficient handling response in the dry. Rough ride.

Excellent grip in the wet and dry, good aquaplaning resistance, short dry braking, lowest rolling resistance on test. Extremely limited snow performance with the longest braking, lowest traction and most difficult snow handling lap. Highest internal noise.

Very good results on wet pavement. Excellent hydroplaning resistance. Good results on dry pavement. Very poor grip and poor handling performance on snow. Conditionally recommended.

Excellent traction on wet and dry pavement regardless of the temperature. Good riding comfort. Weak snow performance. Highly recommended.

Positive: Good handling on dry and wet surfaces. High traction and short braking distances on snow.
Negative: Tendency to understeer on snow. Limited mileage.
Verdict: Satisfactory.

The Bridgestone WeatherControl A005 Evo continues Bridgestone dominance in the the shallow water tests, and it had good braking in nearly all conditions, but the tyre had a high rolling resistance and performed poorly in aquaplaning testing, which is important for an all season tyre.
Positive: Shortest wet braking in cooler temperatures, quick wet handling lap, good snow braking, good dry braking.
Negative: Longer braking distances in the wet at warmer temperatures, increased rolling resistance, poor aquaplaning resistance in both tests, poor snow traction.

Positive: High traction and short braking distances on snow. Precise steering response and good wet handling. High resistance to straight aquaplaning.
Negative: Increased braking distances on dry roads.
Verdict: satisfactory.

Balanced all-rounder with the best driving characteristics on wet and dry roads, good winter qualities, dynamic wet and dry handling, short wet braking distances, fuel-saving rolling resistance.

A tire with a sporty feel and dynamic handling response on wet and dry pavement, efficient dry braking, crisp steering response, and relatively low rolling resistance. Issues: average traction and weak lateral grip on snow, average tread life.

Balanced all-rounder with the best driving characteristics on wet and dry roads, good winter qualities, dynamic wet and dry handling, short wet braking distances, fuel-saving rolling resistance.

Positive: sporty, dynamic handling on wet and dry slopes, short wet and dry braking distances, precise turning behavior, low rolling resistance.
Negative: moderate cornering and traction on snow, satisfactory mileage.
