Hi Nikki *waves* PA Represent..... Im looking at some new tyres for my rims.... Anyway a friend of mine put me onto Toyo R888 Semis for about $250 - $300 each but they are pretty crap in the rain.... So ive looked around and posted a few threads on PA and i think im going with the Yokohama S-Drives.... They are supposed to have phenominal handling in the dry and pretty good handling in the wet..... I got quoted bout $225 each. So not sure if your looking for performance tyres or what.....

All the tyre reviews I have read, as well was what has been said in this thread (EG30), point to the RE001 as being a better tyre than the S.Drive.

hey you guys i called up a few places and every says for the re001 minimum $205 per tyre. and a few places seem to be out of stock!

well i want the tyres today so i ended up buying the yokahama A drive r directional instead!!

thanks for ur help guys

[krogoth]

good tyre, more than enough for every day driving

[dwn_boi]

damn straight for only $620 plus wheel alignment

[krogoth]

im surprised u found the a drive in that size, thats a prelude standard tyre size rite?

not very common in australia, they they usualy charge u an arm for it

i got some pretty shit quotes for my 205 45 17

and alot of passenger tyres dont make tyres in that size

so ive got to go and buy the top end extreme tyre, and that costs even more than it does usually coz my tyre specs are uncommon

[dwn_boi]

yea mine is standard 205 50 16

lol was pretty funny, i was going to jst buy the toyo tyres but i decided to call up ONE more place and see what they got, and the guy ended up being an old friend haha so mates rates
