Hi 996, love their handling ability but wonder if compared to say a Hankook or other performance tire would they feel so hard. That's my impression, they feel like a very hard rubber but holy mackerel do they ever corner well.... R. BTW, they were on the car when I bought it nearly 3 years ago.

Do they check to make sure it's 100% true and correct it if not?

I've had several sets of Hankook Ventus S1 evo and evo2 tyres on other cars (MeganeRS, Audi S3/A4DTM) and have been impressed by the quietness and lack of harshness compared to Briddys. Great performers wet and dry too.

yes Paul they do. I agree Audi but my only complaint about the Ventus would be that there is no tread warranty and they do tend to wear out quicker than other tires I've used. I had them at first on my 242 Volvo but switched to Noble S1 about a year ago and have been very happy with them...

Default will these fit a '99 C2?

Will the MY02 Five Spokes fit a '99 C2? If so, how much for the set?

I've got two sets.
Advantages are they're a breeze to clean, light weight, and look fabulous on dark colours, and show the brakes off nicely.
