Tyre Recommendation thread

[X_X]

Michelin Pilot Precenda @ $279
Yokohama Aro @ $280

wif this price u can get c-drive which is well known very nice tyres, Michelin PP2 is not bad as well(very quiet but not as soft as yoki's), but guess u can get them cheaper than this price!

mine yoko's c-drive 225/45/17 from bob jane onli $260 per corner include fitting, so go shop around.

Looking at getting a set of bridgestone potenza GIII's for my soon to arrive 16" rims. I Want to keep as close to the rolling diameter i have now to have minimum rubbing. Currently i am running 195/50/15's on my stock rims. So i am thinking a set of 205/45/16's would be the best option. I figoured with this tyre on a 16" rim it would push up the rolling diameter about 7.5mm more into the gaurd. I have looked into the SO3's as well but they don't have the size that i want. Any recomendations on other options or does this sound about right, sound like a good option. Wat kind of prices am i looking at??

Any help would be awesome.
Thanks,

For those interested in tyres in the size of 185/60/14. Just got a quote from Bob Jane Box Hill for

Bridgestone GIII's = $99
Yokohama C.drive = $119

fitted and balanced...

A week ago i got myself two Falken FK451's in size 215/35/18s, very good tyres, handles well in the wet and the dry however very very noisy tyres! Possibly noisy because i havent done an alignment yet?

[cdjhitman]

wat do u guys reckon about a 225x50/16 for $115. They are called directional tyres. ive never heard of them. by the way they are brand new.

cheers guys.

I’m yet to see a review for these in here and am quite surprised about it, for those wondering ill give my personal take on these fantastic tyres.

Falken Azenis RT-615
205/50R15
Tread wear 200
Traction A
Temperature A
$220 each fitted and balanced (Re.JDMyard)

As my first tyre Review I can safely say if you are after a tyre with the utmost excellence in dry weather handling with no bearing on tread wear the Falken Azenis RT-615 is the tyre for you. Bordering the line of Radial and Semi Slick the RT-615 is a hard tyre to beat with its versatility as a Street/Track tyre. Much like the model it replaced, this tyre has had numerous reviews putting forward that the tyre has poor wet weather characteristics. However, my personal experiences through heavy rain (coming home from eastern creek) have shown that given a responsible driving style these tyres are perfectly fine during wet weather, contra to these reviews. If you are after a tyre Irrespective of It’s wear I highly recommend these tyres and I give it 4 out of 5 thumbs up.

Bridgestone S03 = you cant be wrong.. one of the best tyres for street!! a bit ex but its a day and night difference from any street tyres... if you want to track your car, go for Bridgestone RE55s.

[bungsai]

in about an hour i am going to bob jane to get Falken 329's installed at 205/45/16.

$615 Fitted, balanced and a 4 wheel alignment.

Should i go...or no go?

btw my car is sitting at a shell servo atm...waiting for my gf to come with a spare....SHES THE BEST whuahah

[STIGT]

Try Donnellans in Box Hill. look for Paul. Tell him James send you there.

The last time i got quoted 215/45/17 (Bridgestone S03) for $295 per tyre fitted and balance.

I think 205/45/16 will be a bit cheaper.

Unfortunately The S03 doesn't come in 205/45/16. For a 16" rim it only comes in 205/55 or 225/50.
