mighty Z Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Bridgestones are summer tyres. They dont have much grip in the wet. For winter you should buy some goodyear f1's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 In case you missed my post - tyres are not the problem (unless someone maintains that Falkens are superior to Toyos) - I would say they are equivalent .... at best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baptist Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Definitely something wrong with your car, mine doesnt behave like that, even in the wet. Id say you needed new rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baptist Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Something amiss if you cant get traction in a standard zed in second! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traktion Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I have the Falkens on too and can agree with the others that they are *much* better than the Bridgestones, *especially* in the wet. They were only about £450 for all four fitted too, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
