i have just replaced my goodyear eagle f1 asm2 with nitto invo. although the nitto is a quiet tyre and good in dry it is not a patch on the goodyear which are simply awesome. there was none in stock in nz at the time. since then read motor magazine tyre test and they finished 2nd this year and 1st last year and my nitto were 10th.

no micheline is a good tyre and so is jinyu the brigdstone are a death trap in the rain on a powerfull car. i had both front wheels spin in the rain without the car moveing one time when i was thinking my clutch was stuffed at first. but when i let the eccalerator fully go it started to move off only then i realised there was 0 grip on them bridgstones in the rain. they grip ok in the dry but jinyu grip good wet and dry far better then a bridgstone junk.

The ones on back the michellin are amazing but the Bridgestone are almost bald and need some good ones to replace only common brands not Ching Chong ones

No not a racist I just don't want cheap sh1te on my front wheel drive 220kw performance car tyres are the only thing holding you to the road and when u get cheap budget stuff they heat up and become useless
