Just wondering what people are using on their Protege's.
Are the BFG Control Plus good on a 99? I have read some good reviews....just looking for a broader response. Thanks

If you like BFG's, take a look at the Traction T/A...  Better handling, riding, and wet traction tire than the Control Plus...

I'm still wearing down the OEM Bridgestones.  

When the time comes, I have my eyes on the BFG Traction T/A as well as the Falken Ziex.
Suck, squeeze, bang, blow - who wouldn't love the internal combustion engine?  ;D

Still got those crappy RE92s?  Sheesh, they're junk.  I have no idea of why Bridgestone still makes 'em or why manufacturers buy them.

Oh, right, CHEAP.

So far I like the Falken 512's.  Had them in the rain today, and they did well.  Of course, that's full tread depth...
No place I'd rather be...

Yep, I'm a little short on cash to be replacing them just yet, but I have mastered the art of driving well with them so that I can still maintain full control of the car.  Add to that I usually have my winters on during most of the rainy season, and they aren't too bad for the drier months.
