Regular. From Bob Jane Hornsby here in NSW.

What about Bob Jane in VIC? How is tyre noise and performance vs stock dunlops?

You should call them up to find out. And they shit all over the stock Dunlops. The gain in grip is probably better than going from stock suspension to coils.

Are any good tyres for the size 195/65/15?

[nigs]

Nah not really aye, they're all sold out world wide.

hi guys, been looking around for new tires and after reading this thread i'm still not sure what to buy.

Does anyone have any experience with Pirelli PZero Nero? I hear they are expensive, but do you get what you pay for?

Yes, I am using them on my DC5R.

I find them to be a great street tyre, grippy on demand.. they tend to make some noise on hard cornering but it sticks very well even on the rain! I have not yet tried them on a really cold day, but it is suppose to be an all weather tyre, its exceptional on the rain, not sure how they perform on a racetrack. i have no complaints with these, very good quality tyres and yes they are pricey.... i would not hesitate to purchase them again.
