Time For New Tyres

[Kaido_RR]

Hey,

2morrow afternoon, im going around to a few places to get some quotes for new tyres from the line, can anyone recommend a place to go (that will give me a good deal) i will be in the morely area so anywhere near there would be great

Also im abit noob when it comes to what to buy,

I currently have 235 falken on the car, they are pretty good (skyline being the only car i drive i got nothing to compair them too) Im not looking to spend alot of money maybe $200 to $250 for each tyre

thanks mikey

p.s a did a search but i couldn't find any threads

[MirKz]

dont get kumho ecsta supra's. I had them before my current tyres. In the dry they kicked a bit off ass... in the wet... useless... like being on soap, it was ridiculous.

I now have jus some Nankangs, they do a fairly decent job so far, i quite like them. not too sure how they handle at speed cornering havent put them to the test really... (trying to look after this set ) but yeah. They are good in the wet to so far... (might be ass for u turbo bastards but ) leaves massive dry lines

but yeah, tis a nice cheap tyre.

I hear the Falken 451s are supposed to be good.

Don't get Bridgestone GT Radial, useless in wet ,bugger all grip, yeah tyre great to do burnouts in, tread is rock hard but i want to stop on these things not keep going.

[G0DF4Th3R]

whut size rims?

250 for a 16 will get u good ones whereas 250 for 18s will be pushing it in terms of bang for your buck

[fane]

lets presume your talking about 17s, i have heard good things about Toyo...

hope you dont mind but i think it would be easier to tell you what to stay away from in terms of danger because of no grip....

In terms of cheaper tyres.

Sava Intensa: HARD compound do burnout after burnout, not the best at grip but last FOREVER.

Bridgestone B530s: worst tyre ever, simple

Khumo Ecsta(non supra): Hard Compound, pretty crap at grip.

Tornado Alphas: Pretty good at grip, medium compound. nice and cheap

Nankangs: Again Pretty good at grip with a medium compound. (i run these usually because i get them $135 each in 235/45/R17) Bang for buck i havent found better

Really i choice of paying out your ass, or substituting grip for wear....

Best tyre i have ever bought was Dunlop SP9000s and at $380 each they should have been aswell...

I dont know places to go in Morley.

some good cheapies are "nexxen" they arent a performance tyre by any means, but that are good just for everyday use.

about 145 per tyre for 235/45 r17

[JXL]

have a look at the bottom of this page at the related posts see what they recommend. Ive read alot of the tyre posts and they all seem to be about the same in what people recommend and what to steer clear of.

Fane --- interesting about those Nankangs at $135 each, i look for a grip tyre cause i'm not overly into burnouts and its wet aswell, automatic burnout environment.

Its interesting with all those tyres out there, when you have a performance car your choice is drastically limited and you separate the talk and stats from the real performance of the tyre.

I use nexens all round.

They've lasted me quite a while, and were a good tyre. However due to a recent yellow I thikn it's time I got some less bald ones

[Driver]

i orderd sum falken 451's from tempe tyres over east

i think the price was $840 deliverd for a set to suit 17x9 rear - 17x8 front.

[Butler]

ive heard federal's are ment to be alright if you are on a budget.

[MrMayhem]

The nexens are cheap for what you get are they sticky? they appear to be a rip of michelin f1s

about to buy wheels for the everyday shit box and tyre price is going to govern 16s or 17s

[Kaido_RR]

thanks guys

yeap i got 17inch rims

[N I B]

We can do Falken ZE326 for around 700 for 4 in 235/45/17s

[ix9]

ZE326 are absolute ASS tyres, no point even buying them. They don't last long, leave 1mm thick rubber on the road, and are pointless in the wet.

I got Nankang NS-1's on the rear (in 255/40/17) and got them for $200/ea

They can be had, as Fane said for around $140 in 235/45/17..

The suprisingly hook up real well, take a beating, and grip pretty decently in the wet

[N I B]

Adam brewer just had a good day out at Wanners on them and Fabs has them on his GTR.

[MrGTST]

Steve are going to be stocking the Falken 451's ??? I will be needing a set of 4 in the near future....

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Brett, Yeah, I have them on mine:D Got them through Steve.

[PHATR32]

so what now? which tyres do we go for?

paul....no praise for the TPG.. sold your soul

anyways toyo trampios get my vote again

a mate just bought some 17's and paid $185 each... very very cheap for them

but they werent 235's i think 215's so the 235's are still probably around $240 or $250
