My car came with the dunlop 18 inch tires, I was told that they are changed to bridgestone from the factory I have a sept. 04 build, I have recently put the bridgestone tires on but thought the dunlop road smoother why the change?

Dunlops. Not a bad tyre (high road noise), changing to Potenza's in about 1,000 miles as many people here say they're good.

Thanks
