No problems with the Potenza's just dont drive like an arse and you should be problem free? the blow out thing is worrying :shock:
When they need changing it will have to be for Toyo's or Eagle F1's I reckon :D as I dont do many miles tyre wear is not a major priority, though the longer they last the better (not cheap r they)

Still on all 4 Bridgy's however as soon as I can I will be changing to the Toyo's as I have heard nothing but praise for them, except that they are a bit softer and wear a little quicker!

Toyo all the way then lads!
If we all wear out our tyres at the same time we could go for a group buy?
Who's up for a burn out? :lol:

Still running on the original Bridgestones (8500 miles) so I've got nothing to compare them to yet.

Got P-zeros fitted they where on her when i bought it .Still learning the car so can't really compare. I came from a 01pug306xsi with F1s fitted
There does seem like loads of crip though.But in the wet 1st to 3 you have to change at about 4500rpm or u spin.but maybe thats my driving :P

Still on the original Bridgestones. Clocked up about 7k i think (i never check lol) and got 6mm left on the fronts. going be changing to Toyo's but only when all 4 are fully worn down.
Think i'll rotate at 10k so im going see all of 2003 out of these. :shock:

Im on Yokohama A539's much better than the original Bridgestones.

Think im going get Toyo's next time though, much better in the wet apparently.

Only 3.7k on the original Bridgestone so won't be changing for some time. Might be a few more choices by the time I need to change.

I'm going for Toyos when the Potenzas wear out. Done 7000 miles and swapped the fronts for the backs this afternoon. Fronts were down to about 4mm, backs up at about 6.

Can't wait for some of Toyos finest, had them on the 306 and they were awesome!!

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience of using Falken, in particular FK-451. I spoke to a guy who had them on his skyline and had nowt but praise wet or dry.

Any thoughts?

The cheaper Faulkens are meant to be awful, these are the ones fitted with 17" alloy wheels for Novas/Corsas etc. The top-end tyres are meant to be great. Sorry, not much use, I'm a Toyo man! :D

Switched to Avon ZZ3 on front...Not bad, alittle better in the wet than the Bridgies not sure about dry, perhaps a touch less...Its close
