Hi guys,

I just picked up a set of these tires for my '68 2002 in 195/50-15, to fit 15x6 et33 wheels.

I like the tires overall, and have put 2k on them, but am concerned with a "squishy" feeling I get in hard cornering, which I think may have to do with the tall tread blocks and soft sidewalls.

I noticed that someone with an M coupe tried them and wasn't satisfied; is it possible that these tires are best for smaller cars, like the Dunlop D60A2?

I had some old Dunlops on my car before, and they were adequate, but on the heavier e34 5-series people report blistering sidewalls and out-of-round tires after little use.

So, are the Bridgestones similar?

Thanks,

Dave
68 2002
