Good tyres for Euro 17" Rims

[AHJ]

For RE001 in Sydney, give Bob Jane in Hornsby a call for pricing. They have been the cheapest for Re001 in 205/55 R16. Maybe they are cheaper than others for 225/45 R17 as well.

every Bob Jane has different price?

I got them with the Type S rim factory tyre 215/45/R17......

215/45R17 is the wrong size for the CL9 Euro. The correct sizes are either 225/45R17 (factory fitted size) or 205/50R17 which has a slightly less wide contact patch and so in (my) theory should be less prone to tramlining.

Because they are a franchise? They also probably do as the supermarkets do and charge higher prices in affluent suburbs.

I called hornsby bob jane before, they said $277 for R001 fitted and balance, and I also get the price of RE050 from Taleb Tyres, they said $280 fitted and balance. I was just wondering which one is better, as there price are very similar.

Exactly.But they'll price match.

I am using the RE040 now, is it ok to just change 1 tyre to RE001, as 3 of my tyres are still ok to use.? or it is better to change all to RE001?

Don't change one. If you have to change, change a front pair or rear pair. Never use different tyres on left and right sides.

Plus, if I had aftermarket rims, they wouldn't stay on my car for long. I'd find it on bricks............

lol where do you live, I'm scared of that as well. Is there any way to prevent someone stealing your wheels?
