I have been looking at New tyres for the 4200 and came accross these Bridgestone Potenza Sport (as opposed to the normal S001) turns out they are a new tyre for 2021 designed to rival the Michelin PS4S in the "ultra" category.
Well done to Bridgestone for releasing a tyre onto the market and covering the smaller wheel sizes - hopefully it will be a good earner for them as they have the market segment for themselves. - I originally wanted PS4S but they are not available in 18" wheel sizes
I am booked in to have a pair of these fitted to the rear axle of the 4200 tomorrow - i will report back how they are. On the front I have Bridgestone Potenza S001 with quite a lot of tread left on them so I will wait a bit to do the fronts.
Also worth noting that Goodyear have released a similar ultra tyre called Eagle F1 Supersport but they have gone down a similar route as Michelin with only offering tyres for larger wheel sizes over 19" https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer/tires/eagle_f1_supersport.EAGF1SUPSP.html
