Does this mean you cant get them any more, i should have figured that when the bridgestone website didnt have the size!

What would be a good replacement, yoko, dunlop, falcon?

I've moved over to Yoko A539's, they dont last quite as long but i've found them to be pretty much on par with the bridgestones.

And from experience, steer clear of Falcons!!! I found them to be terrible in any sort of damp condition!!

Yea, i would never buy falcons given the choice! thanks darkscamp, i'll fill in this claim form now and hopefully get some of the money back, three wheels ain't much good to me after all!

Tried getting Bridgestones for mine and failed. They don't make 'em anymore so any you can get are what are left in stock.

Bought a set of Continentals instead and they are good.

Find 'em better than Yokos in the wet but, in the dry, Yokos take some beating I reckon.

Would recomend Contis though <_<
