Hello all
I just wanted to know if anybody has tried to purchase new tyres for there ST as I have asked my local t mart and also bridgestone dealers and have been told bridgestone Australia do not bring re050a in our size into the country. So if that is the case has anyone tried anything else yet? Mrmavx |

Changed mine to Yokohama AD08R, since Yokohama Australia is having a buy 3 get the 4th tire for free promotion at the moment, much stickier tires.

what i would idealy like is grip at least as good as the re050a and preferably a bit better tyre wear and i would also like a tyre that does not suddenly get hard 1/2 to 2/3s of the way thru the tread, like you had suddenly hit the carcass compound (something i noticed with other totally different sized re050a also)
so not a difficult request lol mrmavx |

Put Dunlop SportMAXX on mine 2 days after delivery - much prefer the grip from these over the Bridgestones. They also don't squeal like the factory option did.
22,000 and the fronts are getting near end of life - outside edges only. For some reason... ;)

I like the Dunlops as well. I'm on 27k, and they still grip well, and I feel confident in the wet.
