Replacement Tyre Suggestions

Had my Michelin PP2 for 5K km's now and still love em. ....

We've had Michelin Pilot Preceda 2's on the Liberty for 16,000kms. They show negligible wear and I cannot fault their grip wet or dry - miles ahead of the OEM Bridgestone RE030s, expecially in the wet.

On the downside, the PP2s ride harder than I expected. Also, they make the steering a bit "meatier" - they add weight to it (which is a good thing in the Liberty).

Ive had the Dragons for a few weeks now and they are ok.

I prefer the Yokohama C-Drive's though, they perform similar but have better grip since they are a softer tyre.

Agree on the Yokohama's I've had mine for about 4 months now and envy the ride.

Now you mention it my ride did get harder when they went on. Feels like lowered springs some times.

Anyone tried the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx?
Apparently they are pretty good, won tyre of the year a couple times. Also comes standard in some cars like Audi A4, Lexus IS250 and Renault Megane Sport Cup...

Ive got Dunlop SP Sport maxx on at the moment,
They've been pretty good tyres, decent grip not sure if its just me but they seem to have worn fairly quickly though.

Time for a replacement, one of them is almost slick

That's why I opted for the Pirelli Dragons...hoping for 40k+.....

Is that all?how much $$$ per tyre?I've got Conti sport contact 2s and i've done 32k on them,I'll probably get another 5-10K out of them.

IMO that's not acceptable for a street tyre.....

I've had "grippy" tyres do 90k, or (50,000 miles+) on a V8 Studebaker,

so a fairly heavy car.

Haha...and beware of...
Bob Jane all-rounders.....crap in the dry, dangerous in the wet and shit mileage....

Dragons are good, but they are supposedly going to stop importing it in.

My understanding is that they are simply using up the remaining stock, so they're going to be harder to get until they're all gone...

Apparently Pirelli are reducing their range in OZ.........

Always the way, you find something you like then they stop selling them...

...the story of my life....lol....
