Bridgestone S02-PP campaign

[IPAddis]

Right, I don't like S03s, I don't like Toyos and I don't like Pirellis. I like Yokos but I live in a place that rains frequently. What I want is the Bridgestone S02-PP. Porsche owners can get the S02, why can't we have the S02-PP.

[url]www.bridgestone-eu.com/forms/general.asp[/url] is a "General Demand" feedback form. If you want your S02-PPs back, please take the time to tell Bridgestone (and mention it's for a lightweight TVR).

There's no sign of an S04 so act now or put up with the alternatives.

SO2PP is a good tyre. The Goodyears on the T350 are easily a match though. Not sure they have quite as much dry grip but they are excellent in wet conditions. A very good tyre for a TVR.

There's a few more Porka's out there, global reach and all that. The TVR market isn't big enough and the 'pp', be it on an SO2 or SO3, is the tyre that Bridgestone have engineered for the lightweight RWD motor. Porka have different demands due the their heavy rear end.

Agree with the sentiment..I paid stupid money for rear 17" SO2 PPs, but other than paying even more for Nero Pirellis, there is not exactly a lot of choice out there, for a wonderful English Summer...

I did get a response from Bridgestone though. The guy admitted that although most cars performed better on S03PPs, TVRs and other lightweight cars preferred S02PPs.

He reckoned that he could sell 5,000 S02PPs if he could get some but apparently decisions like that are made in Japan and he can't influence anything.

Toyos and Goodyears have been used on the later TVRs (with much success apparently) but I'm not so convinced on the earlier ones with higher-profile tyres.

It's just annoying that the S02PPs were perfect and now they are no more.

I might try the Goodyears I suppose...
