im using bridgestone POTENZA 245/45/17 in my galant and its superb...... best thing abt these are that they dont go flat when punctured......

Naweed 2009-10-09 12:58:00 +0600 #14

Used different types(yokohama, dunlop, bridgestone) lately in budget price but found potenza to be the best

@abdullah

1) How long (kms) did your Pirellis last?
2) What sizes were your Goodyears and Continentals?
Also, where did you get them from?

Regards,

@Redbull

Pirelli P6000 lasts only 30k km!? I ran my P5000 Dragos 76k ... are you sure just 30k because i plan to replace the P5000s with P6000s (since its the only model with 195/55/15 available)
