I purchased  Bridgestone 205/80TR16 (plus tubes) 15 years ago and they have covered 15,000 miles very satisfactorily. THey have the high profile of the previous set of Michelin cross plies so the gearing is a maximum for fuel economy. The cost in 2005 was £65 per corner. Prices will have gone up and no doubt the nomenclature has changed. Some say the tyres were a tad agricultural and would make more road noise! So?
