some info on it. replaces the VS5...

They are the the Maxxis Victra Sport 6 - an EV rated tyre and 235 / 45 R18 XL and were $1276 inc GST for 4 balanced and fitted.

Got around 51,000kms on my original Bridgestones here in West Oz where it also rarely rains and runs high temps. Bridgestone dealer said thats a great run out of that set of originals. Did one rotation on them from new. As Bridgstones were not available at the time I went with the advice of...

For a possible fix for the app, would recommend trying two things. 1. Uninstall the app, reinstall and rebind. 2. Try installing on a different phone and see how you go. Maybe try Android vs ios

I agree with Johnny Boy. I have the extended range 77kw and couldn't be happier. 2.5 yrs in, one 40,000km service done. Now at 53,000kms and changed tyres from the original bridgestones at around 50,000kms. The replacement tyres are maxxis and far better in terms of grip, handling and reduced...

OPD avail on these? Was dropped from the IM5 😞

Mine comes out as a mist, seems to work fine but never really tried it at high speeds, figured any spray would be less effective as wind would blow the fluid away quicker. Best operated stationary at a set of traffic lights

I would have your wife checked by a GP, possibility she is an alien, not of this world 😉. Or she is a witch 🤔 see if she floats as that's apparently a scientific test 😉 😄

Bit odd both fail same time... not something like a fuse controlling these?

yeh agree and I swapped front to rear as the rears wearing faster around 28,000km's. Now at 48,500 they are all worn pretty evenly and close to wear indicators.

For the few times we get rain here, I would agree, not a lot of grip in the wet from the original bridgestones but being rear wheel drive was very controllable. What I found more scary was the OPD in the wet when going around a curved freeway offramp and crossing the metal expansion strip's on...

Yeh I was pretty happy with the mileage on the originals. I am not light on the pedal, do mostly home to city driving at 60km a day and a mix of highway, gravel road when taking my mountain bike out on weekends (so some added weight on the back). Did that 48,500 km in just on 26 months and...

Thanks for the Ted talk, lots of great info and would agree with the overpriced T005 and their lack of wet grip. Albeit as you know on the west coast more dry and hot vs wet. Bridgestone said the 48,500kms on the originals was a good run and I am not a light footed driver.... true that soft and...

Thanks guys. So yeh seems the T6 is cheaper than the T5. Hard to find stock of either Bridgestone or maxxis locally though. So far T005 4 x $401 ($1,604), T006 4 x $349 ($1,396). Maxxis vs-ev 4 x $319 ($1,276) or on the get 4 and pay for 3 are Yokohama sport v108 total of $1348 and stock...

Hi all. The time has come after 48,500kms to change the original bridgestones on my MG4 ER. Looking for input on replacements for Australian hot weather conditions. No ice, snow etc requirements 😀. For the same Bridgestones I have been quoted $415 per tyre. An equiv maxxis EV tyre is around $350...
