Citroen DS3 turbo
Result: Would you buy again? No way
Comment:
Factory installed the Bridgestone’s Potenza 050A, is an excellent tyre in dry handling, cornering and breaking, busting the sport character of the car. It also is acceptable in wet conditions . But is a horrible tyre in driving comfort (very awfully stiff), in cabin noise (by far the noisiest tyre in my driving life), as well as in rolling resistant (you feel like having metallic caterpillars instead of rubber wheels). The Continental Sport Contact 3 that substituted Potenzas, are a much more well balanced tyre, with better road information, much less cabin noise, much more driving comfort (now driving and travelling is a real joy), very good in dry conditions (maybe a little bit inferior to potenzas), very good in the wet if you don't push the car in extremes (superior to potenzas).

Very good stability and traction in curves. Relatively high noise level. Towards the end of life increases braking distance - 20k miles.

Unfortunatly, they run out too fast for a regular driving. Very good if you drive fast and do a low mileage.
