Looking at putting new tyres on the wagon before we drive across the Nullabor.
Have been using Bridgestones on my cars since I started driving

Rang the shop today only to find they DO NOT make tyres to suit my FC  Shocked

Years ago I was running B249s but they stopped doing them and I had to change to Turanzas (185/70-r13)
now they don't make them either
Need to buy Firestone

Fitted Michelin once but sold them and replaced them with the Bridgestones

Just wondering what everyone else likes

Standard rims, daily driver, lots of city driving, regular country trips and the occasional drive across the country

Nankang 185/70-13s.  They got me over to WA and back for the Nats, plus a lot of dirt roads and worse from Mullewa to Mt Magnet.  And they're cheaper than tyres for my pushbike.

Remember: if your Holden's not leaking oil, it doesn't have any.

Aren't Firestone basically Bridgestone anyway?
