This has been a longstanding issue.

When looking for tyres there's often a mention to make sure these are Made in Germany, not China as people have had bad experiences with them.

Yours probably say Made in Germany on the side wall, not Made in China

Woops I re-read from the start and yes they do say made in Germany

I started work at 6.00 am today and it was bloody cold out there, I kept thinking about this tyre issue as I drove the car in the wintery conditions and didn't get chance to have a proper luck at my tyres till later today, so glad to see they said 'made in germany' I'm lead to believe my tread pattern is the old one, which is now replaced by the asymetrical version?
I have read about f1's and people I know who have had a lot more experience of this tyre than me all seem to rate them highly, so I just can't understand why we are having this problem with what is a very highly regarded product. I still don't think my car feels entirely as it should do after fitting top quality tyres to it, perhaps they will settle down eventually but I've got a feeling the outer edges will just wear and I'll be buying more before long, my car has had a full alignment carried out in the past at votex, in summary I don't think the car rolled as much in the corners when fitted with the bridgestones even though they were just non descript, and it now feels like it is tip toeing about rather than feeling planted. I hope we don't have a repeat of last years weather aa I think I'll be funked good and proper getting to work and back. Thanks for Reading again .
