I will be replacing tires soon and am planning on trying the Bridgestones. So far I have experience with the two Dunlops. The D 250 front has the center groove which tended to follow the rain grooves on the freeways, whereas the E3's didn't notice the grooves at all. However, I have 8,000 miles on them and they are howling loudly. The rear is seriously cupped and produces the howling which I probably could live with, but they also vibrate when leaned over in tighter turns and I find that distracting. It may not be causing a significant loss of traction in the turn, but it feels like it. Therefore, I am on to the Stones.
My question directed to those of you with Stones that ride on freeways with rain grooves is: does the center groove in the Bridgestone front follow the grooves? I notice that the Bridgestone center groove is not continuous, but is offset every 3 inches or so.
Does it work?
Thanks.
