hi guys,

just wanted to know what is a good tyre to use and the reasonable price for them?

I currently have bridgestone potenza re50a 245/45/18 but it is due for a change. I have noticed that the rear wheels doesn't grip so well from a hard takeoff.

I've read some reviews on other tyres but not sure

how reliable they are so I am seeking some personal experiences.

if you could post the brand, quality and price I would really appreciate it.

I also heard that new tyres our from bridgestone re002 any users??

How about something a little left of field?. Nitto Invo made by Toyo tyre:

I'll be replacing my Yokohama V103 with these because all reviews would indicate they are better at half the cost.

Im using Maxis Vectra 4, 245/35 20s. They grip well the rears are a little worn as they where on the front for a month or 2 b4 i had the old rears replaced, they grip well they do break traction in the wet if you go hard but what set of rubber doesnt.

guys, try this site for some decent reviews for tyres. avoid the cheap stuff...

I had Yokohama Advan Sports, and they stick like glue. However, they are really pricey. So, i got Kumo KU31s this time around, and they are not tooo bad.

I have Khumo KU19s on the rear of mine. I can't really compare them to anything except the front tyres, I bought them because they were $185 per tyre, plus fitting. which was cheaper than most of the 'no-name' brands. They have been good so far, but they have only done about 1000km, far too soon to give a good opinion.

Unlike the tyres on the front, which are noisy!! I think they are the original Japan tyres (which I know shouldn't be used, but they where on it when I brought the car and it passed a roadworthy!), they are Yokohama dB euro. Either it's noisy tyres, or I have a bad wheel bearing, but the noise seems to go away over about 50km/h, which doesn't usually indicate a bearing!..

I have crappy bridgestone's on the car still from when I bought it about a week ago. They have f'all tread left but still seem to do the job.

Looking at the P7 by Pirelli or the KU31s by Kumho. Had Kumhos in the past and have been great to me. Bob At tyrepower Newcastle looks after me every time.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
