Think the major problem with Bridgestones is that they refuse to wear out, just getting harder as they get older. My fronts lasted over 24K miles, by which time they were pretty rubbish, grip wise, but still legal - just. I really only kept them so long because I was uncertain about changing the car and that uncertainty meant I replaced them with 2 more. I’ve never had any real problem with them TBH, but they are much better when new!
Just drive it a bit harder and they will wear out much quicker!
