Ant,

I've searched the Bridgestone/Firestone and Tirerack websites and they don't sell the 235/60/15 Bridgestones here. Must be an NZ only product. I wonder how much it would cost to ship a pair toi the US? These are the Potenza G009 model right?

I'm beginning to think about what Perry said. Maybe my concept of the "right" size is wrong. If a 3,000+ pound sedan can handle well on 215 mm wide tires, why not a 2,500 pound Cobra? But then, the NASCAR boys are running 10" wide slicks and they are the same size all around (except for stagger) and they're running the speeds that our cars are capable of, right? If a narrower tire worked, they'd be using them wouldn't they?

No, unless I can get your Bridgestones, I think I'll try the Maxxis.

Paul
