oh yeah stoopid me, I am talking about 17 x 8 rims

[adam 32]

dunlop FM910s are the best all-round tyre i reckon. will cost u around $250-$300 per tyre

[GOTRICE]

cheers man thats what the dude at tyre power was trying to sell me, but he also told me that 255's wont fit on my 8's and then that they can't get 255's in the 910 so i quickly left

[GOTRICE]

[adam 32]

it may be worth dropping him a PM anyway, hes well connected with tyres and wheels

[JH32]

Miles give Jaime Hunt a call!

His uncle got the wheels for me

[GOTRICE]

yeh man he is on the case! i am still searchin just incase:)

btw how much did u pay and how much would they have been retail?

One word of advice, rims and tyres, DONT go to the big shops like bob jane, etc, they will rip you a new hole, and stretch it for you too.

Go to a small, local tyre guy, they dont always have everything in stock, but can get it in, and will do good deals just to get your business, cause they need it more than a big chain does.

Do your looking at a big place, buying at a small place. Saved me $700 doing it this way (wheels+tyres).

See roy or ray at Kostera's in kalamunda, r34 put me onto him and he's fantastic. Go for dunlops, fm901's or if you can squeeze it a bit more SP9000 or the Super Sport series. I got the sp9000's on the rear and they made a huge difference to the overall stability of the car around corners etc. grip well too for the drags.

bob jane is on a better buy price shedule for the ROH stuff.

[rev210]

If you are after a good launch then make sure you get the rear tyres with a profile of 55. You need the sidewall flex.

[adam 32]

bob jane normally meets other people's quotes as well, when i was ringing around for my tyres i got a quote off them, then told them what tyrepower had quoted me and they matched it.

what good is a price match ? the idea is to get it CHEAPER than the last guy right ?

[zanda]

I am going to be chasing new tyres on all corners soon. someone recommended 'sematoma's (sp?) @ about $210 a corner as a very good cheap tyre.

Has anyone heard of / used these? Any good?
