[mitchy_]

$680, cant go wrong.. cheers for the info!

[RadiuM]

where do you get these nankang's from? i might stick them on the front.

and for 140 are they silica or just plain ole rubber as i havent seen any silica ones for under 200 or so anywhere.

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

Wet and dry??? whats launch and drift like??

[ix9]

Dry is best obviously. But in the wet they're not the worst tyres, the cheaper falken ZE326 is by far the worst in the wet.

Launch is pretty good..... drift is for fags, so I wouldn't know

Oh, and I get them from a RICE Supporting tyre shop in mandurah so those prices might slightly lower than normal prices. Either way, good value for money

[wsln33]

I got sumitomo HTRZ on the back of mine and have found them to be great

I paid 250buck each for 255/40/17

even when they do let go, they still keep bitting for traction

Or Toyo Proxy are apparently quiet sticky, but the softer they are they quicker they wear down, and at $470 each go, I'll stick with the sumitomo's

[Nizmo]

i chew thru any tyres i have

On my zed i had the potenzas .... nice tyres .... but due to unfortunate circumstances .... such as swerving to miss dogs ..... nails and other gizmos getting stuck in them ..... i went thru them pretty quickly.

On my skyline i have Kumho Supras .... which were nice while they lasted ..... 8 months on and i chewed thru the rubber, the canvas, the belts and another set of canvas ..... yup definately got my wear outta those.

Now i have paulies tyres tyres are like kids ..... so much nicer when they are someone elses

can get them from tempetyres over east.. dunno what they charge for the rears, but i know the fronts you get for $140, you can get for $125 + $10 postage per tyre from over there.. so id say ~$200 for the rears too

Nizmo - yeah the kuhmo supra's are nice.. but the 711's are shite.. pity ive got supra's on the front and 711's on the rear

read the whole thread next time b4 calling me a dickhead - Paul (@dad's)

[chrisroi]

we have kumho ecsta,s on the skyline @$145 each and they are wearing much better than the nangkangs that came on the car [20000-km]

[SeriesIIGTST]

Cheers for all you replies! Keep them coming. I can't believe some of you like the Kuhmo Ecsta Supra's. I have them on now and I hate them! Each to their own.

The Trampio's are looking to be a good choice

[bully]

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

I paid $700 for Firestone Firehawks that size they have been pretty good so far had them on for about 7k kilometers better than the Kuhmos i had on b4

same, they have probably been the crappest tyres I have had on the 32.

You get some cash to finally buy some rims ??

[Psiker]

[DirtyDezza]

i got a new pair of khumo's on the back... cheapies.... 145 apeice, used to have nankangs, but the just meltd in 15000kms, though that was the rears the fronts are stll goin hard....

speak to paul at tyrepower canningvale... a really good bloke who gives great prices....

ps. i think we may be needing a tyre company as a sponser.....

[ric777]

got the cheapy Khumo's ($150) that came with the car. They're as slippery as a butchers pr!ck in wet weather and not much better in the dry. Wouldn't use them again.

Have heard that the top end Toyo's are hard to beat.

[JXL]

I heard Pirelli P6000 were decent but upwards of about $300 each but for that price they better be the shit.

[SeriesIIGTST]

Digging up a bit of an old thread but i've decided on going with the Toyo's. Seem to be the best mix of good reputation from other users and price. The price difference between TPG's and the new T1-R's was negligible so i'm going for the T1-Rs in 255/40/17's for $340 each from Booragoon Tyre Service in Myaree. When I go down there to get them fitted, i'll try and sound him out if he's interested at all in becoming a club sponsor for all the SAUWA members. He's only a small outfit but it would benefit him no end, particularly given the number of you out there using Toyo's.

Await a full review of the tyres once fitted

[JH32]

For what its worth I have the Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s, and I think they're quite good !

Then again 4wd helps as well I spoze

[mitchy_]

im just about to pick up a new set of them in about 2 weeks JiMih...

255/40R17 rear
