Well if you got a weird tyre like 300 B A.

It would still be a good tyre if you lived where it didn't rain for 99% of the year.

I have the Dunlops Sport 6060.. whats your take on those tires. From my experience they a bit noisy but its the first tym I fitted 18's on.

Any feed back would be good.

The one section has a directional pattern that's probably where you picking up harmonic noise.

I had a look at my MY-01's the other day, they are:

300 B A

Ja 'm not particularly a MY-01 fan

Although Bridgestone could just be very honest about it's tyre's capabilities . B isn't at all a bad rating if it's always dry where you live
