Just thought I'd write a few comments on the Madison tyres
that I'm running on the EB. They are 225/60/15's.

Ive found that they perform well for me and wear even better.
2 of them are still on my car, as when I bought it, and have done
50000k. I have already been through 2 GT Radials and then replaced
them with an additional pair of Madisons, whilst the original pair remain.

At $118 each, I think they are great value. I understand that they
are made by Bridgestone in Australia.

I guess they are not true "performance" tyres, but for my driving
where I push it a little now and then and do 500k a week, they are great.
In the wet, I take it a bit easy as I figure there is fair bit of water to shed
in a 225 width. Other more expensive tyres probably do the wet better, but these are good for me.

Hope these comments are useful.

i've heard that madisons are an awesome tyre as well..

i will be using them on my car when i come to buying new rubber

I used to have 225 GT radials on my EA... those were good tyres. Still looked brand new after almost a year of driving. Plus they were grippy as hell.

never heard of em lol,i got hankook venture RS-2 or wteva it says in my sig, F**k they smoke good

Madisons are the "NEW" Bridgestone G3's.
IMO the are a hard, VERY hard and long wearing tyre but ABSOLUTELY useless in the wet... its like runnning a 5l windsor with 195 razors on the rear.
if i were keeping to a 15" rim, i'd change them imediatley and go a softer compound.
but value for wear, they are an outstanding tyre, but as you said, not a true performer.

very f**k dangerous in the wet, slightest bit of water on the road and my old XF used to slide worse than on wet gravel.....

Though it can be fun, when alone
but yeah, i'd not recomend these to anyone because of that.
