Title: Yet Another Tyre Question !
Post by: Anonymous on March 19, 2015, 19:32
Currently running Bridgestone Potenza REO40'S  Front 185 and Rear 215 on Stock Front 15" Rear 16". They were already fitted when I bought my 2 3 years ago,. Found out that REO40'S Were discontinued and updated to REO50'S. Having been impressed with what I currently have on I have managed to source front and back replacements from different companies ( obviously there is still a lot of stock out there,Its just scattered about ! ) Does anyone know if REO50'S are as good as the REO40'S and would the sizes be the same ? Personaly after reading some of the reviews on the tyre thread Im not sure about T 1 R'S due to the softer sidewall...the Potenzas are rock solid when cornering   s:twisted: :twisted: s:twisted:
