Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[SiReal]

Potenza S-03 -> Adrenalin. I knew one person who couldnt highly recommend them enough. they're only ~250 a corner so its not that expensive.

Michelin Pilot Preceda are one of the quietest, most comfortable tyres that still offer fantastic balance and grip.

$250 is expensive for 225/45 R17. Just add a little more and he can go for AD07! Plus, the S03 are a bit crappy in terms of treadwear (most of the time, the car won't be pushed hard, so the tyre is wearing without using its grip advantage)

I thought for 17" tyres $250 was cheap. hoho. thanks aaron, will do more research before i buy.

for a top of the line street performance tyre in 225/47/R17 $250-350 is a reasonable ballpark figure.

Advan sport v103 and AD07 have a very similar tread compound (may even be the same)

Tempe Tyres in Pricess Highway Tempe gives the best prices .

Just wondering what the durability is on the Advan Sport and the C-drives?

And the difference between the S-drive and the C-drive.

My Potenza REO40's are looking like they'll need replacing by 30000km so I'm looking for new tyres but would prefer something that would last me longer than a year :P

Thing is, S03 aren't top of the line. AD07 is much better than S03.

Not sure on the wear rating of the Advan Sport. But for the C and S drive, they are 300. In comparison, S02 and your RE040 are only rated at 180.

C-drive is made for comfort and safety in the wet. So while it does not have as much dry grip as the S-drive, the C-drive is more predictable in the wet and is also quieter.

bridgestone re001 is $249 a corner for 17" (http://www.btc.net.au/StockStack2007...ogue_Metro.pdf)

the sport are rated at 180, by the look of them they'll probably last 25,000km (including one track session and a few runs down the drag strip). Which is as good as the eagle f1's i used to have (yet have heaps more grip).
