Well at that price - I'd take em' IF they do have as much tread as that.
But I'm not sure if I'd buy Bridgestones new again. I have RE001's and the tread wear is appauling. That said - the grip is excellent and it is particularly good in the wet. Its just the tread wear...
Keep us informed

I agree. And I won't be buying any tyre with less grip than what I've got now (and I've got a lot). I'll always look to upgrade and I don't mine paying that extra dollar for the driving pleasure and safety benefits I get out of it.thats the price you pay for grip.....cheap tyres no grip and long wearing hard rubber no grip, remember what sticks you to the road and dont ever compromise your or other people lives by buying shit tyres....shane
BUT I wasn't expecting SUCH bad tread wear. RE001's are not semi-slicks. Thats why I'm surprised by the tread wear. I've heard the Bridgestones tend to have higher wear. Have to do the research before buying.

I'd never buy second hand tyres. Purely due to the fact that you don't know their history.
Its pretty easy to check them over to make sure theyre all good. Nothing really to hide on a set of tyes.

I see your point, but its easy to visually check for any defects in the tyre. EDIT: just saw CRUISN's postI'd never buy second hand tyres. Purely due to the fact that you don't know their history.
Bob Jane are doing MAXXIS MAV1 215/45/17's for $159 at the moment. Apparently these tyres aren't too bad. Anyone have any experience with these?
haha, he has some goodyears but im unsure of what as i saw the potenza's...lol, I was waiting for someone to say that Inevitably it does get driven harder due to most of its kms being in stop-start traffic and in and around the tight suburbs.
If he doesn't have 4th tyre, get a matching pair for the rear otherwise it'll be on your mind all the time, lol. I'm sure you'll be able to locate used Potenza's as they're so popular, particularly on new cars. Its just a case of if someone will sell you only ONE.
