Don't call all Bridgstones slippery.  I've had very good luck with
B.S. 207's on a Honda civic.  I've also had very bad luck with an
older B.S. type on a 240 z (hydroplaned all over the place).  It
seems that the long wearing compounds that B.S. uses in some of its
tires is extrememly slippery (but wears forever, forever=60,000 miles).

The tires I liked on the 240 were a Semperit (I think they were 207's ?!!?)
but they aren't in production any more.  They cured the hydro plane
problem and gave good wear.  If I had to buy again, I would consider the
B.S. 207's along with whatever new Semperit is equivalent to what
I had.
