Cheap Tyres In Sydney?

[dont_ask]

Just want to know where people get their tyres for their skyline from in sydney. i quoted a couple of places and they cost about 250 - 300 a tyre. Anyone recommend anyone or place to change your tyres in Sydney. I currently have snow tyres because i imported my car not long ago and i just notice how dangerous it was to drive in wet weather today.

Honestly, don't get the cheapest ones you can get. I'm currently running Antyres, and they're TERRIFYING in the wet. Spend a bit extra, and get something decent. Given that it's the main thing that makes your car stop/turn, good contact with the ground it always good.

What size are you after? You'll find that there's a lot of decent tyres that can be bought for less than that; I'll be looking at the Federal 595SS soon.

To be Honest Tempe tyres quoted me on so Kumho KU31 225/45 R17 for about $330 each which is $3 cheaper then RRP and 235/45 R17 cost me $200 each which $9 cheaper then RRP not sure if i spoke to the wrong person. Even bob jane T mart near my work quoted me cheaper.

I have to disagree about nankangs, i have 18"/235's on the front and 18"/265's on the back and the rears lose traction in first in the dry and in the wet it's horrific. I'll be going with kumho's next, bit more pricy but I drive regularly from syd to newcastle, and when the rain's pouring you want to be stable at 110km/h.

Not to mention when it's raining EVERYTHING accelerates quicker up hill from the lights. Nankangs are known all over these forums for being pretty terrible. I think part of my problem is the tyre's are so wide and crap that there is no chance of the water being moved from the inside of the tyres.

Gotta say though, they're much better than the sh!t the previous owner put on the car...

Firstly, these are a budget tyre, so don't expect them to match a premium tyre.

However, if you're on a budget then these are probably the pick of the bunch

Taleb Tyres here on the forum.

Place it this way any tyres are better then the snow tyres i have now they are scary in wet weather.

They look good but they dont feel so good in the wet

If you were to become a member of SAU-NSW, you'd have easy access to Federal tyres at an AWESOME price - the cost of becoming a member will easily be covered by the savings you'll make. All you'd have to do once your order was in is to wait for them to arrive, then take them to have them fitted to your wheels.

Details in my sig...

The price that TT quoted you may have been for a pair each as I could've sworn I've seen people on SAU quote something like $165 per KU31 from TT which is half of what they're quoted you, so perhaps they did quote you per pair.

[Wacky Dee]

And here you go .. Ebay offer from TT http://cgi.ebay.com.au/235-45-17-KUMHO-KU3...9e0dfThat's

So yeah that $330 was definately per pair as that's their ebay shop above and current price is $600 for 4 tyres.

What I was thinking, was waiting for you to pimp it ;P

S'where I'm getting my 595SS' from... then it's like $5/tyre to get them put on most places

[jawrgy]

Bit off topic, if you wanted to buy rims in Sydney, where else besides Tempe Tyres????, As in are there any other shops/business's as big as tempe that sell rims.

Anyone taking notice??? ^^^

Tyres: If you decide to remain a Non-member, next best is get the best price you can and take it to Blair's 633 Forest Rd. Peakhurst (or Narellan) for your final quote. They even replace faulty tyres without quibble - I know.

Wheels: Don't scrimp on these either. Tempe and Taleb have a massive market you don't know about. They even supply many other outlets. The rims they sell may be pretty, but 99% are heavy. Even the only lightweight rims at Bob/Rod Jane's are the Enkei. It's best to buy lightweight forged rims right here on SAU F/Sale section - I know.
