Tires - gave up waiting and got Bridgestone S-04

[ciaranob]

Heard good things about them but yet to try - possibly more sport driving oriented i.e. little harder ride?

very comfortable tire for daily driving (18s and passive suspension)

I did the same today. I got less than 7000 out of PSS rears so I got the pole positions as well.

Got some experience with these tires and PSS: better turn-in than PSS, about the same ultimate grip, but so very noisy after a few thousand miles. Noisy like you question if you have a bad wheel bearing. I had to take the off; couldn't deal with the noise. Hope you have a better experience than me.

Hmmm - now you got me worried that my memory was correct re one set - well at least cheaper at the price I bought them and hopefully they don't go that way!

I had them on my E92 and the road noise was almost loud to me. A lot louder than the Michelins for sure but the price was so much cheaper and the car was so old I stopped caring about little things like noise.
