I have to say I hated the Bridgestones when I had them on the 370 (Prior to fitting MPSS) and I have the Potenza S001 as a factory fit on my Octavia VRS and they are dreadful also , they are ok in the warmer weather but I have never had a tyre this bad in the cold and wet , I have to be very gentle with it , it will spin up in 3rd if you are rough
