Ah, the debate goes on ... Guran, nobody had any grip at all, front or rear, that morning. Don't blame the tyres, blame an inch of water across the track.
I drove home down the Clyde that night on Japanese RE001s in torrential rain all the way and never felt more planted.

I'm actually getting a bit fed up with cheap dodgy substitutions into the Aus market. Bridgestone aren't the only culprits.

Head to the Adrenalin site and expand the "Sizes for this pattern" tab
Lists the country of origin, although I have heard of some sizes coming from other locations.

The 195/50X15 appear to be Australian made
