Bridgestones, whats the problem?

They're sh!t.....next?

I've done nearly 13k on the original Bridgestones and they've been fine. They aren't as bad as everyone says they are, but maybe some drivers can get the best out of them and others just can't.

Amen to that! Done a good 20k on mine already, probably get another 5-7k out of them.
They are significantly better (as in your don't have to drive them quite as hard to get to right temperature) in properly hot countries though than in cold and rainy Britain

Just come back from Lockerbie today and the weather was atrocious until just after Gretna. Loads of standing water on A74, temperature down to 2°c and tyres were ok. I'm sure lots of other tyres will be better but I'm not one to just bin a set of perfectly good tyres.

If anyone is in the market for a set of 4 PS4's, it looks like a set can be had for £336 at the moment (plus fitting):

Saw PS4 in Costco recently and they're marginally more expensive than PSS there. I saw C for fuel economy advertised on the PS4 (E for PSS).

Costco appear to have dropped the PS4's and only appear to sell the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup.

I've been keeping an eye on their site for the last 3 months and there has been none on it and I've checked a few different branches.
Which is a shame as I think they are generally good at looking after the alloys.

Not had Bridgestones on a car for long time although when I had my bikes I always preferred them. Our Gti CS came with the Michelin PCS2's although at the time I didn't realise they were a track orientated tyre for road use  ... I've only just got myself a set of 235/35/19 PS4S's, after seeing a few recommendations on here, from Blackcircle (good deal, highly recommended) fitted at local tyre shop last week. I think they'll perform a lot better in the wet than the CS's, I know already they're certainly quieter and as soon as the large red hot thing in the sky makes a return then hope to comment on the dry performance!!
