I don't sell tyres I just use them and I have used almost all of theml - I am not saying that the Bridgestones are the best far from it I am just saying that I am happy with the wear and performance that I am seeing from the most current set of tyres that I am running (693's). As for reading my site for others
feedback - yes I read almost every
forum thread that has ever been recorded and I must admit I thought it was a step backwards running the Bridgestones - I am happy to say that at this stage it was not a step backwards and I am very happy. Does this mean that I am wrong?
Have you run a set of new 693's on your vehicle latley? Do you believe what every other person tells you, or do you like to
test things yourself? Don't send me pics of crappy duellers I have seen plently of flat/worn and busted one's already just as I have seen and taken pics of worn/flat crappy every other brand tyres on the market!
As for the Cooper saga - Yes it was Exclusive that I dealt with at the time and yes we came to an agreement on the tyres - mind you I was thinking that they did not want to upset us too much as the local guy
Alice Springs) said no way (Steve said OK after some phone discussion). I was not unhappy with the service given by them just the fact that two 1000KM old tyres crapped themselfs the first day they hit the dirt then the set of 4 proceeded to the tip after 22K. Send set last about 25K. I don't mind if you or others think they are good (excellent). IMHO I have not personally had a good experience with these or many other TOP OF THE LINE tyres. Why should I tell stories that IMO are not true!
I do not speak from hear say I tell you MY OWN EXPERIENCE. If you will not allow me the decensey to tell my own story then I am very disappointed with the way the
forum is running because I expect to see posts of real user experience and discussion. Not my mate told me and this guys has done. I did and am doing, this is my story.
As I also mentioned I am happy to see or hear from people that have have good experience with their tyres - I just have never seen any proof that the huge km's quoted are true.
I am happy with my current lot and I should be allowed to say so shouldn't I?
