Question "Bridgestone Taxi Premium" Have you seen these tyres?

Saw an Accent with these tyres - BRIDGESTONE TAXI PREMIUM 175/70R13, i've never heard of them before, so did a quick search, and found out that they are available in thailand. :: COCKPITONLINE.COM ::
are these available in india? any info guys?
I wonder how many people would like their tyres shouting Taxi Premium, and are these really Bridgestones??

Probably hard like stone, designed to last 100,000 kms.

They aren't officially available in India so must be grey imports.

Bingo!! That's their correct description! And I also think they would be quite similar to MRF's available here!!

But the MRFs do not last 100k Kms. I think these are the same tyres that are badged S322 or something like that over here.
