Tyre Recommendation thread

Lol, tyres are completely made on a machine, so it won't matter where they are made in. Spending an extra $140 (4x$35) just to get "made in Japan" is stupid.

Exactally. Sure they'll be made on the same machine but you can bet that the same shit doesn't go into them.

lol true, wouldnt you???


I have the Bridgestone Grid II on the front they are directional $125 each,
and randoms on the back i had venturas all round but i noticed i was getitng
understeer in the front. After upgrading to the Grid II's in the front i find it
great when theres sumone tailgating me into a roundabout about being able
to power into and out of it..

i dont think they make this tyre anymore though theyve gone to Grid III

very quiet compared to the Eagle Venturas

No idea. I don't see any current locally-available Yokohama tyres with a similar tread pattern to the ES100.
