Tyre Recommendation thread

From a general tyre fitting shop cheap, google Bridgestone for example, they should have the cost there =)

Wheel Alignment specialist varies depending what you're getting done

TempeTyres selling dat wun RE05A 225/45/17 @ $240.00 each


that tread patter not look nice or sporty too,look ugly

[DreadAngel]

RE050A are premium sport tyres for upper spec sport and luxury cars iirc =P

[EKVTIR-T]

they are but the tread looks ugly

adrenaline 002 has more aggressive look

[DreadAngel]

RE002 will definitely be more aggressive look, they target 'performance' cars

shit sorry forgot to add it's not brand new, from a private seller

2 with 80% tread (5-6mm)
2 with 90% tread (6-7mm)

not balanced or fitted, how much more am i looking to pay for it fitted and balanced?

Just make sure tyres aren't too old or been sitting out in the sun.

OTR will do $60 for swap tyres and balance

Tempe tyres sell $115ea for Kumho KU31 215/45/17 fitted n balanced. Get a shop in melbourne to price match and you've got a brand new set for $460, rather new than used for peace of mind

Regardless of looks, RE050 are better than RE002 with regards to every aspect, esp to grip and NVH.

I bought new tyres 2 weeks ago, was gonna get RE002, but got Eagle F1 Assymetric 2s. Got a mate @ Beaurepaires, so they were only 192 each (215/45/17). A truly excellent tyre in all respects, handle better than the Bridgestones and have a wear rate of 300 (compared with 220 on the Bridgestones). Made in Germany too, they come standard on 911s for baller effect.

gooday,
has anyone got any exp with Continental ContiMaxContact MC5 on their CL09 225/45/17?
i also wonder how obvious would handling differ to fit normal profile versus low profile tyres?

cheers

Has anyone tried pirelli cinturato p7? I am considering either the pirelli cinturato p7 or bridgestone RE002 for my Euro CL9 205/55/16. Thanks for your input.

i was fortunate enough that when i got my rpf1s i happen to have some hankook k110 (205/50r15) in stock and i think i like the way they feel better then my last set of re01.
i think rrp on em is about 220ea there abouts?
i got em on special from hankook for 60 ea lol

Anyone used Toyo Proxes R1R on a daily? Good price, worried about treadwear being 140. Hoping to squeeze out at least 20,000km street + 1 or 2 track days
