Tyre Recommendation thread

[ONV73C]

Has anyone run the Federal ss595? Am interested to hear any feedback.

New tyre on Dunlop's Website. It's the SP Sport MAXX. It has Silica Plus compound, which is silica plus carbon black, which should make it harder?

What about Advan Neova? I know these are really good but asked my local Bob Jane but didn't know of them.

hey i need 2 new front tyres but i dont wanna get profile 35 tyres anymore (too much hassel) i wanna move up to 40 or something and change the fronts for now since one is losing air (but its not punctured). Anyone recoomend me good tyres for around $100-$150 mark each??? and maybe a a good tyre place?

I just got Yokohama C.Drives (I think they're the successor to the A539?) all-round on my EK1, and they're absolutely brilliant. I paid $135 a corner for 195/50/R15. Once warmed up it's near impossible to lose grip in the dry, and they hold up really well in the wet.

The only thing I can fault them on is that they're a little noisier than some others on the highway, and apparently they don't wear as well as other options due to the soft compound. I've only had mine for about 500km though, so I'll have to wait and see on that one...

What about cornering? I've heard they have weak sidewalls.

[Shagsta]

Cornering seems good, but it's hard to single things out when I'm body-rolling on stock suspension.

Just threw on new tyres on my DC2 last w.e
Bridgestone Potenza G3 R15/195/55

Very happy so far. I upgraded from the G2's and Im quite impressed. Theyre alot quieter than the G2's and have a very clever rim protection system that stops you scraping em if you pull in too close to the curb.
