The Bridgestone B250 is widely regarded as a durable, long-lasting economy tire, frequently serving as an OEM fitment for compact and family vehicles. While many users praise its longevity and reliable dry-weather performance, it is consistently criticized for poor wet-weather traction and high levels of road noise.

What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

Worth knowing

Users of heavier vehicles, such as the Kia Sedona and Carnival, reported significantly lower mileage and faster tread wear compared to lighter compact cars.
Owners of vehicles with known cabin noise issues, such as the Mazda 3, frequently cited the B250 as exacerbating road noise levels.
Drivers of smaller, lighter cars (e.g., Nissan Micra, Daihatsu Xenia) reported mixed experiences, with some noting a negative impact on fuel efficiency and handling.
