I got Brand spanking new Bridgestone Potenza RE001 rubber for my line for....$209 fitted and balanced
235/45/R17's for $209 and no you dont need connections to get a bargain, and i rate the RE001 very very highly as to the amount of grip they offer on these Adelaide roads, very impressed with the tyre performance.....and I am no mechanic either
So $180 for 18's with 80% tread left sounds fairly decent price too ryan
