about $400+/corner. damn expensive.

Why are you going for those? Are you after comfort or grip? There are other tyres that give you similar for a cheaper price for 17".

Hi Aarong,
I have just been offered 225/45 R 17 Dunlop Direzza 101s for $180 a tyre. What are your thoughts about those?

225/45 R17 for $180 is a very good price! That's cheaper than many 16" tyres. For street use, it will be more than enough, as they should be better than the OEM RE040.

Thanks Aarong,
That's what I thought too. I had been quoted well over $220 for the same tyre. I think I'll grab a set tomorrow.
Cheers

Hey mike, i have them too now. Got them from taleb tyres, i only use my car for street and they're pretty good for the price. Just wanted something cheap but not dodgy =)

Did you pay $180 also?
Are they quiet or noisy on the road?
They are rated highly by Dunlop in their range of tyres.
Thanks

I got my 225/45 R 17 Dunlop Direzza DZ 101s today for $180 a tyre. I was quoted $290 for the same tyre by a Major Tyre Franchise so I think I got a good deal.
Have only driven about 150ks on them so far but they are quiet and the grip was great when it started to rain on the way home and the roads were wet and greasy.
So far so good
