djhatton Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 i'm pricing some yoko c/drive's and the avs sport v102s. apparently the v102s are just incredible in wet or dry and hugely responsive. i'm considering doing all 4 in the avs cos i'm due for tyres and the dicks over at my local rta reckon my current ones are unroadworthy... wankers. they've got a shiteload of meat on them! i'll post my thoughts if/when i get them, but damn $400 a corner at mates rates! ouch! d Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/62437-best-street-tyres/page/2/#findComment-1182839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Pair of random second handies (235/45/17) from Tempe Tyres, $70 a pair (fitted) with lots of meat. Went back a few weeks later looking for more but talked to someone different and they said it was against their policy to sell seconds. Go Figure :roll: I'm after some seconds in 235/40/17 if anyone has a set in their garage, my bro's BMW replaced his worn P Zeroes 40-series with 45-series and now it scrubs and chops up the tyres like crazy now.

ZigenGT Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I managed to find a set of new Bridgestone S-02s some weeks ago. Really awesome tyres!! I guess the S-03s would be even better!

4door_Sleeper Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I love my SO3s - had SO2s, they were great, but even with increased rwkw the SO3s have done really well (wet and dry) Has anyone here had both Michelin Pilot and Bridgestone SO3's to give a comparison?

azza_GT-R Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I currently have 245/40ZR17 Dunlop Formula R great grip!! but not legal for road use, what do you guys sugest as a good replacement for under $1000 a set on a R32 GT-R thanks, aaron.

R33RWKW Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 I would have to agree with 4door_Sleeper, I recently got some SO3's & they are the best tyres I've used in 12 years of driving - especially in the wet. I used to have Falken Azenis Pure Sport, but the SO3's seem to wear and grip alot better - but cost more. I would also like to hear a comparison between Michelin Pilot and the Bridgestone Potenza SO3's, including price. 265/40/18 Rear 235/45/18 Front -- I paid $2020 for these 4.

Paradizzle Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 hey just doing a bit of reading on previous threads and spoke to a few people and wondering wat your thoughts on Nankang NS2's? Rear $200 255/40/17 Front $140 235/45/17 Total of $680 for 4 tyres, do you think this would be the best tyre's for that amount of money? best 'bang for your buck' sort of thing? or are there other tyres of similar price that are superior?

Duncan Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 azza_GTR dunlop D01J and other semi slicks are legal for road use, as long as they have not worn too much (which they do very quickly compared to normal tyres) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/62437-best-street-tyres/page/2/#findComment-1273042 Share on other sites More sharing options...

azza_GT-R Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 so under $1200 the best tyres that can be driven on everyday, and don't wear too quickly what do you sugest?

Pandaemonaeon Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 I'm guessing you guys don't get them, because basically everybody in NZ (including me) use Goodyear Eagle GSD3's. I'm running 285/40/17 GSD3's on the rear of my R33 and can not break traction in the wet or dry.

ECR033 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Sorry to dig up an oldish thread...but has anyone had any experience with Dunlop Direzza DZ101's? I'm pretty much sick to death of the rubbish handling on my current Falken Z386's (they came with the car), so I've decided to put something decent on this time around. They're fairly expensive unfortunately - I got quoted the following prices (which is the limit of my tyre budget!): Front (255/45/17) - $314/tyre Rear (255/40/17) - $400/tyre They seem to have received good reviews, but I'm interested if anyone else has actually had any experience with them? I considered Bridgestone S03's but they're more expensive then the DZ101's so i've ruled them out. I've also got prices for Falken Azenis ST115's which are a lot cheaper than the DZ101's, but are they a comparable tyre? If so, then these may also be a possible (considerably cheaper) alternative. Does anyone have any experience with these tyres? Finally, is there anything else I should also be considering in my price range? Thanks for the help Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/62437-best-street-tyres/page/2/#findComment-1312647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Hankook Ventus 104s were written up very well in this forum. Michelin Pilots tramlined like a bastard on my 32 GTR.

ECR033 Posted April 22, 2005 Share Posted April 22, 2005 Yeah I read the review on the Hankook's but i'm not overly convinced that I'll be happy with them. I think they seem very good for the price, although i'm guessing that they're still probably at the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to performance tyres. Anyone had any experience with the DZ101's or ST115's? Any help on this would be great.
