I was crossing the Harbour Bridge on one of those days recently when it was pissing down and went to take a left hand hand turn to exit the bridge.Someone in front of me slamed there brakes on and so did i,this is where my story gets a little interesting and very scary.Boris (the green clubby from hell) tried to stop and with brakes screaching and girlfriend screaming slid slid slid ever closer to the nice modern car in front of me.Finally he came to a stop almost sideways,this is how i found out that Boris does not like the wet,i had to drive home at a 40k snails pace all the way slideing all over the place,and i ran another set of red lights fun fun fun :P :oops: Think i mite need some better tyres,the ones i have appear to have a far bit of tread but dont seem to be doing the job. :shock:

i did have bridgestone's are they were great for the price and come to think of it good in the wet but there are more dry days then wet in good ol' australia so i'll stick with yokohama's 8)

so i'm guessing falcons are the problem and they arent even cheap :roll:

does anyone know how much bridgestone's are these days?
