tyre replacement VTIS Jazz

**ss-rotel** · 09-09-2011 01:11 PM

.... i used to run 17x7's, with admitedly cheap tires, (achilies), and my 15x7 enkei's with the re001's handle sooo much better.

It's probably the un-sprung weight difference. these things, inc tyres, weigh less then the ones on a V8 Super car. (and yes, i know, my boss's brother owns a stonebrother's racing falcon, which i've helped with on the odd occation... )

I decided not to go with Tempe Tyres. Too many bad reviews when I searched on google for them.

However, I found the same tyre in the Kmart junk mail that arrived today. $97 a tyre fitted. Bob Jane, in the same junk mail, are doing them for $107 a tyre fitted BUT have a price match gurantee. If Bob Jane are true to their advertising, I should be able to get them for $96 a corner fitted. Cheaper than Tempe tyres after I have to pay a tyre fitter to fit them - about $12 a tyre.

Bob jane's $107 deal with a price match of $96 sounds like the go.

yeah guys nearly ran into a pole last night going around a round-a-bout (was raining in sydney). so i do need to get some new tyres. im thinking some ku31s or like re001s. what you reckon?

**fillit** · 25-09-2011 01:19 PM

KU31s are pretty good all rounders, a tad on the hard compound so it doesn't grip as well in the dry, but definitely bang for buck

**ouch** · 25-09-2011 05:17 PM

What about the re001/2s?

**fillit** · 25-09-2011 05:48 PM

never ran them so i have no comment

from what i've heard, RE002 are really really good track tyres, either way they are all safe bets. Just see how far your budget stretches.

Ouch just out of curiosity what size rims are you running? We've never seen a pic of your car!
