Best Tyres Under $300 Each

Ive read the tyre comparison stickied but still cant come to a conclusion which tyres i should get. I need two rear tyres as they are on the belts, and i dont want to spend over $300 each. I have no idea about tyres and i need two 255/35/18's. ive sussed out some prices, $240 for Nexens, but someone said they were a shitty compliance tyre. I can get Hankooks for $289 (they couldnt tell me the name of them, apparently they have only one?) and yokohamas for $520! apparently they are really soft and get eaten up really quickly tho.

So im just looking for really good grip in dry and good lifespan (not excellent, willing to trade some for better grip).

So what does everybody think would be the best option?

I put Nexens on my car, there not that bad, I think that there better than the g-grid II's that i used to have. $225 each for 245/40/18.

Hi,

I am getting a set of Hangkook 275/35/18 K104Ventus Y rated fitted and balanced for $310Each....

I have been running a new set for 1 year 245/45/17 K104's $255 Each and they have not missed a beat.

I would highly recommend these to anybody who wants their performance tyres to last.

Nexens sounds very cheap for a performance tyre....what rating are they?

Do they have 255/265/275/280/285 Sizes in these?

Cheers

The Nexens are normally rated as a Car Yard Tyre, you will see a heap of them and Sava's on car yard cars, as they are cheap (price and quality) and they are a new tyre, just some advice on them.

The Hankooks arnt that bad for the money, you are getting into a trusted tyre brand, and they still have a name to uphold in the market, so they dont tend to put out crap tyres, but they do have different quality tyres for different prices, so the bottem end of the price range you are getting a bottem end tyre from there range.

The Federals are a Great quiet tyre with a good wear on them, and once again are a lower price than the Bridgestones and the Pirilli's, and wont be as soft as them either, but I think for the money they would prolly be a look in, if you can get them in that size in your area.

and the Falkens are a great softer compound tyre, normally means slightly higher grip, lower road noise, and also a slightly shorter road life, but once again in the price bracket you have stated, I would point you into one of these 3 brands. Hankook, Falken, Federal.

Hope this helped.

Hi there,

Thanks for this.

The reason I stated this was since I have had them I have seen hardly much tyre wear and

comfort has been great compared to the Jap. Advans that were on then previously.

I have seen Hangkook test these tyres on the track on a R34GTR

going around the Nur. Ring. in Germany.

They are Y rated...ie 300KM's an hour and have a warranty on wear.

Sure they have just launched the new K107's but these are 200 Dollars more each.

So my answer to this question asked on this thread is.

Hangkook K104's 245/45/17 are Y rated, great tyres that I am using at the moment.

Tested at 300KM's an Hour, track proven......for a street car.

They cost around $275 Each fitted and balanced which is under $300 Each. :)

Cheers

toyo trampios are alright for their price, but if i were to choose again i would probly go the hankook k104. just to try them out

got the toyo TPGs but wasnt too happy with em, had falken ZE512 and they shit all over the toyos.

heard good things about hankook though, try them

regretting the toyos a little, feel they should grip better

try the new Falken FK452s. I got a set few weeks ago 235 and 265 for $1100 all up in 18s.

Can I ask where you got them from?

I called a local Tyrepower in Sydney (that's who Falken Australia suggested) and they wanted around $320 a corner on 17"

I just put on some 285/30/18 pirelli P ZERO, $85 each with 60% tread. Look around for second hand you can get a better tyre for a cheaper price. I was told that the P ZEROs are around $900 each.

What are they Rosso A's or Giallo A's? Doesnt matter, that is a good price for 60%.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
