Just did a 8 day 2500 mile trip in the turbo for the F1 in Monza.
I've only done 1500 miles in the last year/since buying so great to get to know the car really well!
My car came to me shod with Bridgestone perenza tyres, I've never used them before and wouldn't normally be first choice. I needed a set of rears before the trip. I deliberated about changing all 4 corners to Pirelli or Mitchelin but decided I'd spent enough recently and I had plenty of wear left on the fronts and couldn't throw perfectly good tyres away.
We had some of the worst weather I've ever driven in, I'm happy to say the Bridgestone performed well in both the dry and the wet! Even on the hairpin bends of the alps in thunder and lightning at night in sports mode having fun/sh##ng myself they felt assured and never really gave way.
Just thought it might help if anyone gets a car with them on don't worry they are just fine or the turbo is just awesome and it doesn't matter what tyres are on it.
