Bridgestones. Works out for me though, saves me from having to buy all-seasons for the winter. Now I can put that money towards real summer tires, as opposed to the Michelins.

Michelin Primacy HP. I assume the HP stands for HydroPlane...

I'll drive on them until winter, and then they go into the garbage. I'll get some better summers next year.

The bridgestones have terrible reviews and bad life duration.

They're Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 tires. And yeah they're crap, but at least serviceable.
