    For a fella as intelligent as he was, you'd think he'd have not chosen a Roman ruler's name again for his 2nd account.

    I think the sales pitch for Sisu is that they offer different frames for different applications so you don't need subframes for big cranes etc and the rear suspension/axle options.

    I need something which will last, previous owner did 1 trip to Croatia and some city driving (around 9000 km), and original Bridgestones are gone .. I've read that those Michelins grip and last. They were just quite expensive.
     
    98989 Thanks this.

    Yes, the Bridgestones on my Mazda are almost worn out with only 7,000 miles on them.......

    they put very little depth of rubber on the hi performance tires.....that’s what I was told.

    The depth on Michelins looks quite normal, but we still expect some low temperatures in next 2 weeks so I still wait with changing tires.
