Pros, cons & observations
Themes extracted from owner reviews across retailers and review sites — not the opinion of TireWheelGuide.
The Bridgestone Nextry is generally regarded as a comfortable and quiet tire, favored by drivers of compact and city vehicles for its smooth ride quality. While it performs well in dry conditions and offers impressive longevity, some users report concerns regarding traction loss on wet surfaces as the tire ages.
Pros
- Exceptional ride comfort and softness
- Low road noise levels
- Good steering response and ease of handling
- Impressive tread longevity even under demanding conditions
Cons
- Reduced traction on wet road surfaces
- Potential for slipping during acceleration from a standstill in wet conditions
- Performance degradation noted after the first 10,000km
Observations
- Users driving compact vehicles like the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Tiida report high satisfaction with noise levels and city-driving comfort.
- AWD vehicle owners noted surprisingly capable performance in winter conditions, exceeding expectations for a standard tire.
The Yokohama BluEarth RV02 is widely regarded as a high-comfort, stable tire specifically engineered for MPVs and SUVs with higher centers of gravity. While users consistently praise its superior wet-weather grip and noise suppression, long-term satisfaction is somewhat tempered by reports of inconsistent tread longevity and potential material degradation over time.
Pros
- Exceptional wet and dry surface grip
- High levels of ride comfort and low road noise
- Improved vehicle stability for tall-profile vehicles like MPVs and SUVs
- Competitive fuel efficiency
Cons
- Noticeable increase in noise and decrease in comfort as tread wears down
- Reports of premature sidewall or tread cracking
- Inconsistent tread life, with some users noting rapid wear due to softer compounds
Observations
- Users specifically noted that the tire significantly improves stability and reduces body roll in MPVs like the Toyota Vellfire.
- Drivers of SUVs, such as the Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai, reported a marked improvement in handling and wet-weather confidence compared to OEM tire options.

How do we compare tires?
Every category score blends two independent signals. 60% comes from professional tire tests (braking distances, lap times, noise measurements) normalized against the best tire in each test and weighted toward recent tests. 40% comes from thousands of owner reviews collected from retailers and review sites. When a tire has only one of the two, we use what exists and say so.
Community buzz from Reddit and forums is shown for context only — it never changes the score.
