Bridgestone is the original Datsun 1200 brand of tyres -- and the world's largest manufacturer of tyres too.

Bridgestone is offering 4 for the price of 3 on them so it's a no brainer really, I could of saved even more if I waited a month or two. looking at another set of Bridgestones for the 910 wagon on 180sx alloys so it'd be 195\60 R15 to match TRX profile.

Let us know your first impression on driving them. They sound like an excellent all-around performance tyre.

they perform better than i expected in the wet, but probably not as good as a road tyre

I used to run Bridgestone RE55s on my other (non datto) car and they last fine when you are just rolling around commuting. As soon as you hit the track the rubber just peels off them but for transit duties the wear rate was ok if you took it easy.
Same thing with A038's I had on my 1600.

What were they like in the wet?
Can email pics if you have some

Rather tempted by the re002 as bob jane is selling them for $145 and jax are selling them 4 for the price of 3

yeah my brother priced up some potenzas, not sure which ones, for $125 ea. the guy at the tire shop said they had performed very well against some good brands that were being tested the same day.

Dont think semis will really last that long on my car ange. i do drive it every day, dont really want to waste tires just driving to and from work
what brand and size are they anyway?
