Hi guys,
I am having some trouble finding a decent set of tyres because I have a budget and I've called around a few placed and have gotten quotes.
my tyre size is:
185/55/15
which apparently is a rare low profile tyre size which sucks and it makes tyres THAT much more expensive. I originally had Bridgestone Potenza's on them.
I was recommended MAXXIS MA-V1 Silica type ($125 each tyre fitted and balanced + $35 Wheel alignment) by a couple of places. Falken tyres ($137 each tyre fitted and balanced + $35 wheel alignment). Hancook K406 ($129 each tyre fitted and balanced +$35 wheel alignment). Silverstone ($120 each tyre fitted and balanced, wheel alignment-don't know price)
The guy at Bob jane said that Maxxis are really good tyres for their price. Daryl shave tyreworks also said the same thing. Falken's apparently are a lot louder yet they last the same. Tyre power claims that Hankooks are better than Maxxis and from what i've read on Silverstones, they don't sound very good.
It seems like the MAXXIS MA-V1's seem to have pretty good reviews everywhere over the internet. It's a good drive, lots of grip in the wet and dry, not a lot of noise etc.

this is the review from wheels magazine.
Not too sure what to get though because everyone has had different opinions. but i'm leaning more to the MAXXIS MA-V1's, reviews seem quite positive.
Let me know what you guys think. Also, if you have any recommendations of placed or a decent set of tyres, let me know :)
