Re: 16" tires options

[james.david@clyde.com.sg]

How come no one is considering the Bridgestone S02's? - That is currently
reputed to be one of the best in the market - I am considering buying those for
my other car but they are expensive.  For my Roc, I currently run Pirelli
P6000's and they are pretty good although the P700 I think is the best I have
ever had so far but I think those are quite hard to come by now since they were
first brought out almost 6 years ago ( I think)

That is the main reason I went with the Dunlop Sport W-10's.  I just needed to
take a break from replacing tires every year.  My wife still asks me "don't we
need to buy tires for one of the cars soon?"  She's a very nice girl. The W-10's
have held up really well; even the ND trip last May and my seattle to San Diego
trip at the end of the summer!  Handling is decent, but scary at the limit.  I
would only reccommend them as a commuter tire as I feel their performance and
adhesion leave something to be desired.

How's that?
