Anyone else get Bridgstones??
they aren't "supposed to" come with Michelins.

And even if it was, they're not any better than what your car has.

They have switched over to Bridgestone for the tires.

edit: yes my car came with the Bitchelin HP, they are terrible too. The no name tires on my beater Civic have more grip.

there's no reason to even make a stink about it.

its like swapping a brown turd for a green turd.

it's a different color but they're both still pieces of shit

Did you all have choices on tires? All I every heard was we all got Prius tires.
