new tires

[mikhill]

Looking to buy new tires, anyone use Bridgestone turanza t001? How do they compare. Specification look better than the Dunlops. Any thoughts? Located in UK.

You must be looking at different sizes than 175/60-15 or 145/65-15.

Maybe Bridgestone Turanza T001 15":

185/55R15
195/55R15
195/50R15

Seems there is no good option. With 185/55R15 on the front and 195/50R15 on the rear, the ASC might be happy (I wouldn't risk it), but the front tires would rub on tight turns.

In response to my email, Cody Rollins of The Tire Rack says Dunlaps are the only LRR choice.

• " At the moment the only LRR tire in the stock sizes for that[i-MiEV] is the original Dunlop tires "

But The Tire Rack dosesn't seem to sell Bridgestone Turanza T001 tires.

Any thoughts?

It would really help if we knew where you are - There are tire choices in the required sizes available in Europe and elsewhere which aren't readily available in North America
