Title: Bridgestone Tyres
Post by: maxi81 on March 07, 2015, 12:09:44 pm: Looking at getting some bridgestone tyres, anyone got a particular one they like? I live in Brisbane so will be riding my bike at QMP occasionally and looking at maybe riding some local VMX events. Any advice on what tyre to choose?

Thanks

Hi maxi81, I have a Medium Bridgestone on back of my mega2 250, and I absolutely love it.
Unfortunately the bike is away from home in a secure storage facility, if I am there in the near future I will get the
Numbers of the side of the tyre for you.

But tyres like oil are controversial to comment on so its just my 2 cents
