Any opinion on the orginal bridgestones?

Difficult for me to comment as mine is a Mk2 running non-standard wheels.
They don't do my preferred tyre choice (Goodyear Eagle F1) in the right sizes required for your Mk3.
Maybe this will help (or not!) - http://www.mr2roc.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&amp...

Ah thanks, Read some good things about the Yokohama AD08s, a cross between a track day tyre and a more conventional sports tire, and they come in my size which is rare!

Thanks for the help

AD08's are fantastic on my Mk2. Stiff sidewall but very stable in wet and dry conditions. They are A-rated for wet braking under the governments new tyre rated scheme.
