OEM Tyres

The OEM tyres on my car happen to be Bridgestone Potenza RE 050A
I am not expecting to get replacements for cheap, given the size is 235/40 R18

They do perform brilliantly, although I must admit that I was initially a bit disappointed that I did not get Pirelli's or Continentals (given that the car was manufactured in Europe, I had thought these were reasonable alternatives). When my father bought his VW Passat, the 2 main tyres coming on the car were Pirelli and Continental (he got the Conti's, which are great).

So, although mine are quite sticky, they do seem to be wearing more than I expected... Time will tell, and I think I need to be more paranoid about the tyre pressures.
