Okay, firstly they're Bridgestones not Michelins
 . Not bad at all but the general concensus of opinion is that they have been superceded by the Continantal Road Attacks and the Metzeler Z6's, which apart from giving you slightly better overall performance (and the Continentals' much superior wet grip) also offer far better mileage than the 020s.. |

what is your front? don't make the mistake of using a stickier rear than front

ive got the standard dunlop sportmax on the front, its still very much alive. My rear tyre however has been anihalted in 5000 miles!
I asked the guy in the shop about the soft/hard front and back tyre difference and he said not to worry! Which I wasnt entirely convinced about! Continental it is then. |

Agree with Cloggsy, change them both and flog the original front. You really won't be doing yourself any favours otherwise.
