Guys I'm pretty sure I'll get a defect notice soon for my front 2 tyres. Being in Canberra Toyos aren't exactly readily available at an affordable price.
I'm currently running 195/55/15 Pirelli Dragon (Paid $138 2 years ago). Are the Yokohama S-Drive any good? Got quoted $247 per tyre fitted balanced on 195/45/15
looking for new tyres.
I have the BFGoodrich geeforce sports on the car now for about 2yrs i think. Not to bad but looking for something better the size is 205/40r17.
I think they are about 200ea per corner now for that price there has to be something better.
toyo r1r's
one of the best st tyres.
i can't recommend them enough.
absolute superb tyres, in the wet and dry.
never used to get traction in 3rd at all, when i put my foot down (previous tyres were t1s) now just grabs and goes.
in the wet, used to always spin in the wet, now, barely really, handling in the wet are awesome as well.
car is a boosted b18c making 300+hp atw.
Yokohama A539 - At around $200 each (205x45 16" fitted) they are an excellant handler in the dry as well as the wet. Well suited for track use as well as day to day driving. At the same time, they will easily give you 30k km's day to day driving with the occasional track visit while being extremely quiet.
Silverstone - These are about $110-120 each (same size as above) and are for people on a tight budget with no performance in mind. They are quite noisey and are not for perfomance applications. A harder compound more suited for daily commuting and for extended tyre life
Toyo T1R - around 230 each for 205/40/17, they r pretty good in both dry and wet, i have not got any problems in wet with my b18c EG. a little bit fast wear out than other, but u expected with this preformance
