I reckon some of you guys spend a lot on tyres. I paid $180 a corner for Dunlop 3000A in 235/45/17 and they were fantastic tyres for street use.
Granted that was a special price and 235 is cheaper than 225 - but still. I burn through tyres too fast to justify $400 a corner.
agree, sometime you go for the most use instead of best use, it's not like you track the car everyday........
Re001 =)
at 199 each i seriously think re001 is good value for money, it's not some extremely quiet or comfortable tyre but it's more than enough for daily driving....
when getting quote around i was so tempted to go for 3000A it cost 800 all 4 coernes balance fitted and aligned, but bs was on promotion with 60 dollars more i get some new design to try on.Quote:

sport max was also on promo for 850 just wondering anyone went with that? any review?
Remember though, RE001 has a wear rating of 220. That's lower than the C.Drive and S.Drive's 300. So they last about 73% of the duration, assuming that you do enough kms to reach the treadwear indicator within 3 years. If you do very low kms, the tyres will harden before they wear out, and will be poor in the wet.Quote:

I really couldn't care less if a tyre can grip twice as well if it's going to be twice as loud. At the moment I can't stand the noisy OEM Bridgestone tyres. I think I'll take them off prematurely just to upgrade to something quieter and better handling.
Hey aaronng
Is that 199 for 17"? and if so, from where? I assume when you say re001 your talking about the new Potenza Adrenalin's. I was quoted $269 at australias best in sydney.
I changed my tyres the day after i picked my car up.The RE040s are crap.:thumbdwn::thumbdwn:Quote:

I got a set of RE001 today for my 18. It is a RWD with deep dish so I got them for $1500 fitted and balanced. Took it for a run... it is just too good to believe compare to G3Quote:
