standard tyres - monza shadows?

[stupot]

Hi guys n gals!

As i mentioned in a thread a while ago i was given the standard wheels to run about on before my monza shadows arrive. They will be here soon, so i was wondering what the tyres are that come factory fitted to these? Thanks in advance...

thanks for the reply! thought they might be bridgstones as is on the 17's?

Just need to make sure they don't try fobbing me off with some cheapies as the wheels have been ordered without tyres..

I have some 17" ones and they also came with bridgestones.

the shadows you speak of are 18"

normal monzas are 17"

      My 18 inch Monza's were fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A, I took delivery Nov 12th 2009. IIRC they were fitting either the Dunlop's or the Bridgestones at that time.

I have Conti Sport Contacts

OK in dry but not very good in the wet at all.

9000 miles and I am down to 3mm.

Michelin PS3's seem to be the ones to have.

It's pot luck but they are premium brand tyres. Normally you get Dunlops, Bridgestones or Conti's or in a rare case Michelins.

Don't panic though, all good, even the Dunlops that get slated on here are fine tyres.

My Monza 18's were fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE050A also [Delivery 15 March 10]

I will stand up for the Dunlops. I hated the Potenzas but for me the Dunlops are the best. Although I have not tried the Michelins. I am still undecided whether to risk it and try them when I chance tyres in a month or 2.

Way too much emphasis is placed on a tyre. I'm not going to say a tyre is a tyre because yes they are different, but were not in a race, pit-stopping or rallying, so any tyre of the top spec tyres should do.
