Default Rollin on G3's

After wearing down my tyres past the tread wear indicators I decided it was time to get some new rubber. So I went down to my local bridgestone tyre centre to get some tyres. After a quick look at the car the guy recommended I get the potenza G3 which was the ones i wanted anyway so I get them fitted at 135 each.

All i can say is that these tyres glue the fez to the road. I have this one corner I like to hammer around near my uni thats marked at 55km/h. When the car was new I could go around it at 100km/h but the car would be slightly understeering. I went around the same corner today @ 110km/h and the car wasn't even breaking a sweat. I used less lock and the car was alot more stable.

Would definatly recommend them to everyone.

Wonder what they'll be like for 16" rims. I had Potenza 245/45/ZR17 RE 030's on my old falcon and they were expensive AS!

I dont like my Falkens, so I cant wait to get the Potenza's loll
