People....
I have a 3.0l GU. Bought it new in 2002 with the standard Bridgestone 693's which lasted about 10 minutes.!!!
Any way, replaced them with a 75 profile Cooper which have been a very good tyre but i do experience a loss off power and economy from the bigger tyres.
Since 80% of time is spent on the black, I was thinking about going back to the 70 profile and saw the newer Bridgestone 694's on a wagon today which 'looked' better than the old 693's by a long shot. BUT ARE THEY ANY BETTER??
The old 693 passenger rated threw out in the centre because of weak belts and wore out in no time (I do mostly highway long runs).
Does anyone know if this is better now. Would like to hear from someone who has more than 20 - 30,000km's on them and still going (or haven't they been around that long.?
Cheers
Andrew.
