I don't often post in tyre debates as there is never an outright conclusion.
So I decided that in the 3 years I have had this car ( the longest I have ever kept one for)
I am still on the same set of tyres that I put on when I got her, Bridgestone 050 whatever 275/40/18 rear and 244/40/18 front.
I have got used to the characteristics and am extremely happy.
In addition they still have 50% of tread left after 16000mls of driving.
I am concerned that someone mentioned that they no longer are making this tyre, and MPSS do not make the size I want.
I am a firm believer that the more rubber on the road the better.
I never have tyres on that are 3mm or below so will be looking at changing in March.
So I am reading these threads with interest to see what's a good alternative.
I never skimp on tyres, and am happy to pay top money for a tyre that is a good all rounder especially in the winter.
