hi guys
i need your advice regarding tire selection
I own a 2005 civic 4 doors model
and i am using an 18 inch rims
since the car is lowered the two tires on the back kinda wear out in the inner side
i previously used falken fk451 215/35/18
after getting an advice from a mechanical shop
that tempetyres provided the cheapest tyres on sydney i then went to tempetyres
www.tempetyres.com.au
they had 3 215/35/18 profile tyres
1) Nankang NS2 AUD150
2) Falken FK451 AUD175
3) Kumho 712 Ecsta Supra AUD200
after dealing with the salesguy in the counter he advised me that the kumho are superior than the falkens which i had previously and the kumho is more expensive that the falkens
so i trusted the guy and opted for the 712 kumhos
however after doing some research on the net
such as ctyres.co.uk
it provideds that 215/35/18
nankang ns2 = gbp70
falken fk451 = gbp78
falken fk452 = gbp79
kumho712 = gbp84
the same goes here
http://www.rochfordtyres.co.uk/tyres...ile=35&size=18
however in this forum
http://www.landsharkoz.com/tt/ttwheels4.htm
its an american based one
it quotes that
US$ SR UTQG TYRE
$69 WR 340 Kumho ECSTA Supra 712
$90 YR 280 Falken GRB FK451
and here
http://www.1010tires.com/tiresearch.asp?submit=yes
for 215/35/18
the kumho is 126.99 usd
falken fk 451 175.99usd
falken fk452 159.99usd
i was wondering whether tempetyres in sydney gives me the wrong pricing and advice?
which one is better the kumhos or the falkens?
need advice since i only changed the 2 rear tyres
and will be changing the front one soon
