Hey everyone,

My rego is coming up in April and i know i'll fail if I dont replace my tyres. I have 17" rims that take 205/40/17 tyres. I was looking into using directional tyres, good grip dry and wet, for daily use, fairly quiet ride, and not thrashed ie. burn outs etc. (but I do turn hard-ish sometimes...) and only looking to spend $100-$150 a tyre not including alignment.

I've noticed that tyres become obsolete over time so a lot of this thread might be out of date, and lately it's been mainly performance related tyres discussed.

Thanks heaps for future replies!

kenske: a good budget performance tyre especially dry, and a little wet. is Kumho Escta SPT's Ku31

thanks for the recommendation "cb7 owner", looked them up on the net and seem to get good reviews for the price, now gotta shop around for the cheapest price

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have just one query, I have 16"x7" wheels. I currently have 205/45/r16 on them and I want to know if I can get 215/45/r16?? Would hey be more expensive and have more grip?? I have Dunlop Derezza DZ101 I think...
