Default Bridgestone re070s

These new tyres are OE now on the MY05 scoob. They look awesome.
I was wondering if anyone knows who else can supply them and how much they are.???
Also, has anyone gone through a set yet.???

Ive put a picture of them on the "whoohoo got my new scoob" thread.

Tried mine out on a run over Strines Moor last week They certainly grip Harsher ride due to the very rigid side walls, and tramline like a steamroller, but you can push them so hard through corners it's worth the trade off. Don't know about wearing them out, as I put them on for that run and will be taking them off tomorrow to keep them good for special occaisions

Awesome in the dry - wet is ok - just feels like a big difference cos the dry grip is so good, and yes they do tramline as well - but sod it, the grip is great!

Ive nearly gone though a set of these, my local tyre place can do them for me for a little over 120 quid fitted, they have excellent dry and wet grip (after they are scrubbed in) but are very interesting on greasy surfaces

Are these better than the RE040's? I've got an 02 STi, can these be bought in the right size to fit?

Much much better m8, a direct replacement as well.
Can't wait for the summer to get some real heat into them

Where abouts are you, or could you post them? I need a set that size - can't decide what to go for but a good price always helps to make your mind up
