What tyres are you running?

[SeriesIIGTST]

I'm in the market for some new rears *heaven knows why?*

Just like some feedback on what tyres you all have on and are you happy with their grippiness (if there is such a word)?

Been quoted ~$420ea for Dunlop Direzza's DZ101's which i'm told is the "best money can buy" and ~$340ea for Toyo TPG Trampio's in 255/40/17 size. Obviously a bit of range there so want to see what every one else is using.

Cheers!

im running Toyo Trampios on the back 235/40/18s and Potenza 040 if im not mistaken on the front..

the trampios are really good tho. in wet and dry and also at high speeds which i test on my private road

[uneekwahn]

I've been running Toyo Trampio TPGs for about a year now, and they're great.

Had no problems with them

potenza DAGG.... Yummmmmmm 255/40/17

have no idea how much they would cost plus they came from Japan, no Oz companies made by the looks of things..... but yeah a lot happy than my g-grid i used to have plus the old potenzas....

if ya see any floating around try and grab em.... well i like em anyway:-)

best tyres i have had were dunlop sp9000's i would have got them on the enkei 18" rims but they were very expensive.

falken 225/50/r16.

Not sure which model. very nice lookin tyres with pretty of tread. "z" rated, even though i have no idea what that means. paid 225 a tyre.

[RB20LagWagon]

tramps are golden

[HypeR33]

i have falkens too 265/35/18.

They are fine, and nearly half the price of the potenza GIII's I had on before at the same size

[damono]

I got a set of Toyo Trampios for $1100 from tyrepower in port kennedy

2x 245x40x18

2x 265x35x18

Tyres are pretty good and service there from the boys are great. Im guessing something in 17inch would be a bit cheaper than that. My personal experience is that tyre places rip people off whereever they can. You get a quote for the exact same tyre down the road for $80 more.

I use S03's - great drive in the wet or the dry, noise is minimal, but I use RE540's for the track.

Kuhmo Ecsta Supra 235/45R17's on the front

Kuhmo Ecsta 711 255/40R17's on the rear...

the Supra's are nice, lasted a fair while and grip nicely...

the 711's.... well.. they suck.

i washed my rims perfectly spotless last night, drove around a little bit last night (absolutely no wheel spin or anything) and you can see powdered rubber sitting in the spokes of my rim(rear rims only), they wear that quick its not funny...

going to try Nankang NS2's next i think, mate has them on his wrx and they handle nice

[HIPSI]

I used to run Maxis 265/35R18's on the rear

and Maxis 235/40R18's on the front. For a pretty unknown(?) and cheapish tyre they had wicked grip on both wet and dry road. Cost about $430ish for the 265's not sure on the 235's maybe $380ish. But with me only running about 250rwhp and you running what now 350rwhp might make a difference.

[JXL]

Z rated means they are high speed rated, over 160km/h so thats what you need on a tyre.

don't get GT Radial Champiro's hard as rocks and shit in th wet, but hey if you want burnout material they will go on for a while but i wish i never got them.

Falkens are always mentioned as a great all round tyre.

I am weighing up between Toyo TPG's and Hankook Silica's K104's?

Anyone want to feild that one??

Thanks,

[Psiker]

today i am picking up my 265/35/18 Hankook ventus (rear) and 235/40/18 front (forget what they are) ill tell ya how the hankook's go sherriff Wan when i get em on

[RadiuM]

Sherriff,

I just put a pair of the Ventus 104's on the 32 a month ago.. pretty DAMN GOOD tyre for the price.

They are up there with S03's in the dry and are about 150$ cheaper per tyre so you can't go wrong.

I havent tried the 104's in the wet yet. S03's have been the best tyre ive used in both the wet and dry.

Nexan 215/45/17 front - Shit cheap tyre I needed cause belts were through

Bridgestone Potenza Re711 235/45/17 back - Awesome tyres, original Japanese tyres, very worn, probably only a month left on em, too pricey over here at this stage....

[Sheriff Wan]

Cool guys thanks.

I was gonna go for the TOYO's as i got an awesome price $800 for all 4 235/45/R17

Anyonw in mel let me know if you need a set. And before you ask NO they haven't fallen off a truck

[Psiker]

im paying $329ea for the Hankook's and $212ea for whatever the other ones are

On your stocker rims ? Your a dickhead.

I pay $200 for 255/40/17, and $140 for 235/45/17. Cheap Nankang NS-II's that grip like all hell Im happy with them
