Damn..............but.......

[hairy]

I found that my front left hand tyre was knackered on the inside edge due to an alignment problem (it was tracking straight hands off - go figure) so I had to bid my (OEM?) Bridgestone Potenzas goodbye, which really sucks 'cause they had 50%+ tread left in the other 3.

There is a silver lining though, this week I had a set of Toyo T1Rs put on and so far, after a wee play through the twisties this morning (Scenic drive and Old North Road out of Kumeu for you Kiwis out there) and they are excellent, really grippy and quiet.
I would reccomend you give them some serious consideration if you are looking for some new tyres/tires.

Price wise they are not too bad either NZ$950 (US$705) for four fitted, balanced and alignment included. Not to mention the free rotation and alignment check after 10,000Km (and free lifetime puncture repairs).
