Interesting. On what car did you have these Bridgestones? 

I will probably try Dunlop SP5000 tires next, unless I hear something 
bad about them. On the other hand, I may decide to go the route of three 
season tires plus a set of winter tires like I did when I lived in 
Michigan. I need to consider the pros and cons of my tire options again 
now that I live in the occasional ice belt of Southern Indiana rather 
than the continual snow belt of Western Michigan.

Thanks,
