    Default Bridgestone Supercat tyres

    Anyone run these? I'm currently looking for a set of 235/45/17 and bridgestone have these for $159. what are they like?

    Can anyone else recommend anything better around the same price?

    Bobjane suck, as I'm still waiting for a response from about 3 weeks ago, so they are out of the equation!

    Edit: what is the Bridgestone designation for these? ie RE92, ER300... because I cannot find any info on them on their website!!

    Thanks in advance.

    Damo.

    they don't really have a model desination ( i.e. re92 etc ), they are made by Bridgestone under the Supercat name ( Supercat dont have indvidual models, once a new design is relased they just use that for all their sizes ), for what you pay, they are fantastic, i recommend them all the time and i work for a BTC btw.

    Thanks guys, it seems strange that Bridgestone don't have any info on these tyres on their website.

    Looks like I'll be booking in tomorrow.

    I know what you mean, customers always seem a bit wary of them because of that reason, but once they buy them they are as happy as larry!

    The Supercats have a feel of the Firestone TZ100's. I've just put 2 Supercats on the front of the VN (225/16). Very happy so far. $155 each. good value too.

    I'll give some free advice.

    yeah i know i want something thats unidirectional and around mid range if you know what i mean.

    im leaning towards getting ve ss/sv6 18's with pirrelli P6 all seasons from wheelking, 1650 + postage seems pretty fair i reckon, considering it comes with genuine nuts, covers and is machined to suit

    best to ring and ask because ever store is different in what they stock ( except they all have a arse load of Bridgestone )

    at my Bridgestone at the moment cheap **** tyres of the month seem to be Neutons in the 18's.

    Brand possiblities are ( in 18" variety )

    Nexen
    Neuton
    Nankang
    Westlake
    Traxxion
    Regal

    More as well but thats all i can think of in the cheap ****ty tyre dept at BTC's


    EDIT: just saw the ad online for that price you may get Supercats ( they come out in 235/40/18 ) still best to ring as it may vary state to state and store to store.

    The P6's r good only thing they r a softer tyre so u will get slightly less KMs out of them but they will perform alot better then the rest mentioned so far, id b leaning 2wards those if i was in ur shoes if u dont wanna spend much
