what type of rims you got those on? 255/40/r17 are huge =P fronts are 225 im guessing?
Also (gonna sound like a stupid question) what does the 94w stand for?

Trying to decide between the Star Specs, RE11 or RE050A..

Think I'm leaning towards the star specs. Hmm, thoughts ?

starspec for bang for buck! they're sick tyres and cheap. Re050a is not in the same catagory as re11 and starspecs

however starspecs aint so great in the wet, however you shouldn't be driving to the limits in the wet anyway :P "technically"

The rims are O.Z Racing Alleggeritas in graphite silver.
Sizes are:

Front: 17x7.5 48 offset on a 225/45r17 tyre
Rear: 17x8.5 59 offset on a 255/40r17 tyre

haha dw mate there are no stupid questions, we all have to learn it at some point. the 94 refers to the load index which is basically means how much weight can be put onto that tyre. The w is a speed rating. Basically the top speed the tyre can do. If you still don't understand have a read over this website http://www.carbonblack.com.au/car-ty...formation.aspx and it will explain it better then me lol
