Too bad the Adrenalins don't come in 14inch sizes and will replace the GIIIs, BS only high performance tyre sized for 14s.

\"Some sizes in the Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE001 range will be manufactured at Bridgestone’s Salisbury facility in South Australia with the balance of the product being produced in Japan.\"

Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I guess if you want the Jap batch, get them fast!

Some distributors are useless..... when I was looking for Ferodo DS2500's the first place I called was Dapto clutch and brake. He called up the Aussie ferodo distributor and was told there was no such thing, only DS3000's for the track or DS2000 for the street. Guy at Dapto C&B was nice enough that he said if I get him a part-number he'd chase it but just goes to show.....

it seems the c.drive has it's competitor. $129 for 195/50/15 is pretty cheap.
