Ben,
What size did you get them in, do they come in 205/50/ZR16? I had a look on the Bridgestone internet site and all that was listed near to this size was 205/55/ZR16.

What are the best tyres for a MY98? I am looking at replacing all four after 20,000 and want to know which tyres I should look at replacing them with. The tyres on are the standard ones that came with the car (P6000?).

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

The current favourites are the Bridgestone S-02 Pole Position. Just as good as the best of the rest in the dry, but far superior in the wet. Should be about 110 - 120 quid each all fitted for a set of 4.

Plenty of of other threads on the subject in here if you do a search and want some more opinions...

Hi Sambo,

I notice you live in London and so if you get yourself down to Micheldever tyres in Micheldever, Hants., you will save yourself a packet. I had 4 s-02s fitted for less than £400!!

Sorry to contradict other advice, but Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres are the ultimate (dry & wet) but wear heavily (12-18K miles), depends how much money you want to sepdn too!
