Yes, good thread going here, this is the type of info I'm always looking forward to. I am at 11,000 on my original Bridgestone(40's), they seem to be good in wet, and great on dry. Don't know how they compare for noise and ride. I'm hoping to get some more action out of them, then I can see it is going to be a big job to decide what tire I'm going to go with next! this helps, cheers.

It is generally unanimous in that the OEM Bridgestones are great in the dry and terrible in everything else like wet, tread wear and noise especially as the tread wears down.

TireRack.com is a really good source for info. I particularly like the survey charts.
