    Bridgestone 950 TIRES installed
    I tried to post this a few days ago, but I think I messed up:
    I just had Bridgestone 950 tires installed on my stock rims. Tires are 185/65-15 (stock size). The Bridgestone National Sales manager reccomended these over the G009.
    Inital Impressions:
    RIDE- firmer at 32psi then stocks at 40 psi, especially below 65mph
    Stability-excellent low and 80 mph stability.
    NOISE- slightly more then stock, not annoying.
    MPG- slight drop on first tank of about 3mpg (rough estimate)

    I'll write a detailed review in 2 weeks after 2k miles. I measered and photographed all my old tires at 40k miles (about 0.1" of tread left).

    Why all the cross-postings? I think one forum is enough.
