Tyre Recommendations for Euro OEM 17's

**TALEB TYRES** · 29-07-2009 10:09 AM

There's tyres other users have tried like toyo t1r, dunlop direzza dz101, Bridgestone potenza re050. Depends on your budget and what you want from your tyres i guess.

Are you after something high performance, or something more all rounder...

re050a is a real good tire grips like nothing but around 350 each

Stealership told me to replace with same as on there is $454 a corner. Thought that was a bit steep

350 and 454 are steep prices.

I know im a trader on here and im not trying to plug, but it still amazes me how people pay ridiculous prices for tyres when they can get the same product for much cheaper, usually just takes a minute of your time as well...

Also, Just cause the tyre came out on the car as original equipment does not mean it is the best tyre for the car...

yeah I know OEM tyres are not the best but you guys are telling me that tyre is one to buy also

just saying in general, sure its a good tyre, but not always the best.

**Dr P** · 01-08-2009 12:25 PM

Well I think its quite a loud tyre. If I could find something as grippy that was quieter and lasted I would be very happy

well if you want the best tire go get some slicks they use in f1 lol

We're not telling you to get OEM tyres. I'm telling whoever started the thread to get other brands. The reason why the dealer wants you to get OEM is because they pay almost nothing for it from the manufacturer due to volume pricing, but charge you twice the price of what a regular tyre would cost.

What is your budget?
