On the track, they just don't cut it on cornering hard for prolonged sessions when hot, but then again, not many general road tyres will.

when did they start making them again?Bridgestone still make them in that size and 245's in the SF330's only. They are pretty good all round on the road, including the wet.

They've never stopped according to the Bridgestone Tyre Centre I got mine from, and there are no plans to stop doing them, but only in 245/40 R14 and 265/40 R14's.when did they start making them again?

i've never liked them myself.
another tyre i've found really good is the Madison
they grip well and seem to last they make em in a 235/60/14 but they seem wider than the norm and there directional

I think this is just a rumour. I heard the same thing, and was not at all confident of getting some when I went to buy. They are only available through Bridgestone Tyre Centres.bridgestone in perth stoped stocking these about 2years ago and told me that they were discontinued and the last odds and ends they had went to tyres4u which is another of my wholesalers and they sold the last of them 18months ago
must be a perth thing
Just to correct my previous post, remember only available in SF330 245/50 R14 and 265/50 R14.
