Guy I have a Jazz VTI-S with standard rim of 185/55/r15 and its time to change upgrade my tyres

Yokohama C drives $167 per tyre

Yokahama AS01 $188

RE001 in Size 195/50/R15 quote $230

Hows does these prices sound....just wanna compare in my rim size

I bought the RE001s in 205/50 15 (less popular than your size hence cost a bit more) for $172 each, fitted and balanced. Don't know why they're quoting you so much

$230 for RE001 at that size sounds a bit expensive, mine are 225/45/R18 and they cost me $265 a corner, but that was before a price hike in September, even then would not be such a price diff

I emailed Bob jane last time C drives $191 per tyre

compared to Tyre power for $167 .....each

I'm looking at going at RE001 but his waiting for a Rep to come up and see what sort of better price he could get......... I ask roughly ball park and he said $230 off the top of his head...so I gotta wait next week for the better price.....

Oh Bridgestone are also putting up there prices for tyres.

my 185/55/15 limit me to my choices hence it more expensive not as popular

So going 195/50/15 .

It should be cheaper and won't effect too much rolling diamater.

Does anyone know if insurance is affected ?? I know when you change tyres load and speed rating have to be the same or higher grade so you don't void insurance..

from me going 195/50/15 that shouldn't present a problem right ?

225/45/17 RE001
i was quoted 310 bucks per corner but got it down to 275 bucks

all it takes is a bit of bargaining

[Catcha]

that sucks about the price RE001's going up. other members previously paid less than 200 per corner for you size. I was hoping to get 215/45/R17 for around about 230-250, but from the sounds of it looks like i'll be looking closer to $300

do the 195/50/R15 have a different load and speed rating to the 185/55/R15?

I was also thinking about doing the same thing (ie go slightly wider and smaller aspect ratio). Does anyone know the pros and cons of doing so?

185/55/15 - rolling radius = 292.25
195/55/15 - rolling radius = 288

you would need 195/50/15 to keep the rolling radius the same only a smallest amount of difference your spedo could be saying 80kph your actual speed is eg 78kph

I bought RE001 for my car, 195/50/15s for $144 each corner fitted...my guess is the price difference is by ur locations (cities/towns), cos i know syd ppl can get $129 each for the same specs i have...

nope, bridgestone have bumped up the price majorly in the last two months. my brother was quoted 240 for 195/50R15, whilst i only paid 144.

CRAP!!! What a price hike

[SeverAMV]

just get adrenalins for the front. their turn in response seems to be unparallel'd in the street radial class, and get something cheap and good in the rear, like wide oval firehawks (you can get 215/60r15 of these for like 130, which is ridiculously cheap and makes you wonder if the adrenalins are worth it).

Not too safe at the limit though (in case you need to swerve to avoid a 'roo). I tried S02 at the front and Dunlop cheapos at the rear and my car actually is very very tail happy eventhough it has a long wheelbase.

firehawks are grade a traction, and are generally a sports tyre, its only cheap in price, not quality. theyre also technically the same as the old g3 potenza.
