Got a set after my ATX's wore out ande they were hopeless only got 15-20,000km out of them they came apart in chuncks, puntures were a big issue and fire stone was not interested. Changed to Saveros and haven't looked back

i think its a cost thing. bridgestone didnt seem to think there was a great market for the 33s.my boss and i are trying to get some on indent from the states thru our nso. talking to our rep i get the feeling it will be a no go. why not try to bring some in yourself
