Hey all,

I need to get some new tyres for my stock 97 Vti, just wondering if anyone has come accross a good set for this model. I was thinking of going for Michelins, but I'm not sure what they're like for normal use. I don't need any uber-tyres, just something that'll last, has low road noise, and won't cost more than $120 a piece. And yes, these are just standard size tyres i need (175/65/14's I think).

Cheers

Have a look through this thread. There is a lot of information about all different tyres, and what people thought of them.

yeah, i read through the whole tyre post, looks like its a choice between the ER592's, Pirelli P6000's or the equivalent Michelins.

Just sick of the road noise, and don't want to have to start worrying about grip levels. Got Pos-a-Tractions on the front at the moment, they've got great grip but so NOISY!!

Thanks for the info :thumbsup:

Aren't they any good? People have been saying they're OK :confused:

Please keep in mind that these are only going on a stock car, it's no speed demon, only gets me to work and back etc. Just need a good set of daily drivers.

Thanks

blardy noob - watch your p's and q's hahahaha

I have personally driven on the ER592 over long and short distances and they are a great tyre.

I have compared them to other tyres in the bridgestone line-up and point to point perform as well as a G Grid or Turanza etc.
