I go straight to pedders where ever I am. I got a dodgy one at beaurepairs once, never going there again. Pedders cost me like $100, got a print out and everything. :thumbsup:

The problem now is that Australian laws say you can only replace a tyre with one load rated to at least the same rating as the lowest fitted to that model in Australia (i.e. 98).

the other problem is trying to find a 98 load rating tyre. You cant even get the oem tyres in Australia.....

p.s. I need a tyre already for mine.....

What about 235/45/17?Not sure about load rating but should be
ok as this size is common for Falcon and Commodore.Should be close to same rolling diameter as 225/50/17?

If the 98 rating is not a problem, which tyres would you recommend for the 18" Lux rims?
Where I'm at, they're having a promo for the Yokohama S-Drive tyres, are they any good?

I guess i'm the most daring cu2 owner so far lol..Mine are 19s.:p
To answer your question, set of coils and 20s = turning it into an unrefined piece of crap which no one is prepared to do.

I got base model, Yokohama db decibel e70's don't exist in Australia.
FFS Honda Aust, why did you go with a 98 load rated tyre???

I have found that Toyo proxes 4 come in that size with a 98 load rating.
Costs about $220 a tyre.
