I have Bridgestones on My car Claudio, quite impressed, i also like Pireli's, Dunlop and Michelin i have negative experiances with.
I once had Pirelli P7's on an Austin Metro, cost me half as much as the car was worth :D

For spirited driving, Yokohama...or to use their parent company(as they're marketed that way in Japan), Advan...... :)

038/048 are the 'legal' hand cut slick-type tyres fitted to Lotus 340R, and other crazy vehicles(Caterhams, Ariel Atom, etc...). They're severely soft, but as the only thing connecting your vehicle to the asphalt, I'd trade grip over longevity anyday...... :D

And of course, they sponsor half of the drifting events in Japan(where a new tyre can easily last <2 minutes)......

i've had bridgestone s-02/s-03 pole position potenzas on my muscle for eons. one time i switched to soft michelins and car skidded into bush.

potenzas good compromise between wet dry grip handling comfort noise.
