after two sets of the noisy rumbly no grip in the wet PS2 I had the bridgestones installed today. Tire Rack feedback seemed to prefer these quiet ride and wear.

i'm sure damon will comment in more detail but i had a conversation with him today that included that topic. first, i found damon from his reply in this thread and we're lucky to have him lurking in this forum. he's incredibly knowledgeable and honest. i'll get to that in a second.

he said the bridgestones will give more noise isolation than the ps2's. you won't hear every crack in the road, a little more comfortable.

i had an issue with my passenger rear. damon gave me some advice that not only fixed the problem but saved me a few months on buying a new set. i thought for sure i was going to have to replace all four. damon, thanks again for the great advice. it's all fixed and i'll be calling you this summer to send over a set of the bridgestones! it's refreshing to find someone in sales that's more interested in giving good information than just making another sale.

Ordered Pzero today. Rears only, to match the fronts that are still going strong.

9,500 miles. (ouch) no complaints otherwise. I'm estimating that the fronts should last about as long as two sets of rears.

No flats yet! (knocking on wood)
