No chance of me getting to Smithfield so am just back from Eastwood Tyres... Picked up a set of 17" RE001s for $265 each fitted and balanced with valves etc. Really great to deal with and car feels much better on the 20min drive home but my original RE040s were totally donald ducked....

All in all a for Eastwood Tyres. If you call tell them Jon sent you and that you read about them on here. I told them all about the forum and how we all shared prices etc.

FWIW, Bob Jane Hornsby wanted 276 and Bridgetsone Hornsby wanted 278 for the same tyres on the same day... neither would discount...

Yeah, AD07 is grippier than RE001. Not sure why RE001 is so expensive in 225/45 R17. Can you get AD07 in 205/55 R16?

thats really cheap...are they still on special?

[AHJ]

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.

thanks! so if I just change the front or rear pair, instead of just changing one...then that's fine rite? or it is still not good?

It is fine. Make sure you put the better tyres at the rear and drive carefully for the first 500km because the old tyres will be slippery.

OK guys I need help and reading all 21 pages didn't help me much.

I'm not driving on racetracks, I'm just driving on suburban roads and freeways.

My OEM Bridgestones have had it after 39,000kms and Ringwood Honda have quoted me $450 each to replace them ... cough cough yeah right, guys. Well, they also suggested Yokohama for $250 (although at the time I didn't ask which ones).

So now I need new tyres for my Accord Euro Sport 2006. Cost is more important than performance, although safety is more important than cost (and noise is a factor too). I'd be happy to pay $300 rather than $200 if the tyre was going to last twice as long too.

So how do I choose? Any suggestions for further reading? Or just tell me what to get?

Thanks guys.

Call up Bob Jane, Tyre Power or Bridgestone Tyre Centre. Ask for the price of Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001.

If you want a tyre that lasts long, ask for Yokohama C.Drive or S.Drive. DO NOT buy tyres through the dealer. The charge too much.
