Brewman 1,192 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I can get both for nearly the same price on a deal. Just don't know if the Firestone is a cheaper Bridgestone.

jacknife 2,005 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Years ago i bought a set of alloys and i remember the fitter telling me not to buy Firestone for British roads Something about them being made for American roads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 I had a set of Pirelli P6's on my XR2 back in the day. Very soft. Good in the dry, cr*p in the wet and didn't last very long. I changed over to Goodyear Eagle NCT2. A lot better tyre. .......We're talking a long time ago, so things might have changed since then.
