tyre recommendations.

[dstylez]

i'm after some advice on rear tyres, i've currently got 18x8 with 235/40 all around. will i be able to fit 255 or 265 width tyres my rims? will i have to get a 35 profile? what brand tyres do you recommend in the $250-$400 (per tyre) price range? thanks

I just bought a set of Yokohama A539s they are the business...

soft and grippy, very good in the wet... but in the end it pretty much comes

down to personal experience and preference.

They fit your price range.

as to the tyre fitment on ur rims, not too sure.. something u'll need to check

with a tyre specialist. ie. BobJane, Tyre Factory, etc

I am buying new tyres for my Supra TT and was recommended Toyo T1S tyres and they also fit within your budget. I looked up some reviews on the net and they rated very well.

BS G3, i think they are available to 235/245?

SO3 should be slighter over yr budget but u will never regret buying a set of them!

I personally love the Falken fk451s, they are great. In 235/40/18 they are about 400.

Love is such a strong word.

I use the 451 on the backs as well. They stand up well to punishment - obviously not the last word in tyres but for the money, quite a good choice.

My car has 17 x 8? (not actually sure yet, still stuck on the wharfs) but rear tyres are at 255/40/17. So i reckon you might get 265's outta ur 18's? Might wanna check that tho.

Tyres i've got are Advan Neova's, haven't driven the stupid thing yet! but have heard these are good tyres. Altho, ppl are having trouble actually getting them here :confused:

cheers

Yokohama do not sell Advan Neovas here.

Therefore they are not DOT rated and you can't sell or use them here. Kiss goodbye to them in compliance.

just got a set of these...love them!! my car is like a different car in the wet now... I would recommend them to anyone! (they're great in the dry too, but it's just the wet that you really notice the difference when you have good tyres and you don't have to be so afraid of stepping out when you go thru a corner!)

Damn... another person who likes FK451 Falkens

I think they are 'ok' - I prefer the ST115 but wear is a tad higher on the 115 vs. 451.

Are the Falken RT215 tyres any good?

I had Advan neova AD06's on my old soarer and they held on damn well until they were past there used by date... N-1 Distribution sells them in victoria but the prices are just plain silly unless you want to pay 3-4K for rubber

we are running the 115s on the z now and I believe the 451s are superior, I'm very disappointed by the 115s
