The Bridgestone Supercat is a polarizing budget-tier tire that receives significant criticism for its poor wet-weather performance and lack of steering feedback. While some users appreciate its longevity and quiet ride for casual commuting, a large portion of the user base considers the tire unsafe in adverse conditions, frequently citing a lack of traction and unpredictable handling.

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.

What owners like and dislike

Themes extracted from 25 owner reviews found online.

Pros

High tread durability and long service life
Quiet road noise levels
Affordable price point
Acceptable performance for sedate, dry-weather commuting

Cons

Extremely poor wet-weather grip and hydroplaning resistance
Soft, unresponsive sidewalls leading to vague steering feedback
Significant loss of traction during cornering and acceleration

Worth knowing

Users with high-torque or performance-oriented vehicles (e.g., Turbo models, XR6) frequently report excessive wheel spin and lack of control.
Drivers of heavy utility vehicles and vans (e.g., Hiace, Rodeo) report better satisfaction regarding tread life and durability compared to passenger car owners.
The tire is often criticized for being ill-suited for vehicles lacking modern electronic stability and traction control systems.
