How long did your original Bridgestone RE050s last?
Thought this would make for an interesting thread, as some people seem to love the OEM tyres, while others arent too fussed. Personally i thought they offered great grip and were very predictable, compared to the Yokos I'm running at the moment.
I got 18,000km out of mine and they were cactus. My old man got 24,000 and he's a conservative driver....most of the time. I know they are a soft compound tyre (140 rating from memory) but we were both kinda disappointed in the milage we got out of them, considering they cost $400+ a corner to replace. I know some people have had terrible times with uneven tyre wear/alignment issues as well. And has anybody replaced the originals with the same tyres?
