Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[aaronng]

hi, sorry to hijack the thread, but need some opinion.

I just got a quote from melbourne as follow:

Yoko V550 265 each
Conti Sport Contact 2 255 each
Sport Maxx 245 each
Adrenalin 225 each

205/55/16 balance and fitted, any idea this sound reasonable? Also the tyre place claim Yoko and Conti is best for euro and it just appears they are the most expenive too out of the list, anything to back up this claim?

Thanks.

The Yoko you listed is the low road noise version. I'd rather Conti Sport Contact 2 instead. So it's either the Contis or the Adrenalin. Both different tyres for different uses. Get Contis for normal driving, and Adrenalin if you are the kind that goes through your tyres quickly. BTW, you can do better than $225 for Adrenalins in that size. If you go to any bridgestone tyre centre, they are selling Adrenalins in 205/55 R16 for $199 now during their Stack Stock Sale. http://www.btc.net.au/StockStack2007/metro.asp
