Tyre Recommendation thread

[Hondavirgin]

I run the K104s and use them for competition as well, very happy with them, but pretty noisy on the freeway.

any more recommendations for 235/40R18 tyres beside k104?

my needs are for normal daily driving.

btw, 235 fits on 18x7.5" rims right?

good year eagle f1....very good tyres as long as there made in germany which they should be cause AFAIK anything equal to or smaller than 16's are made in thailand or taiwan or something...and 17's and bigger are made in germany....

IMO buying 18's good years...

Try the H422 or the H424 from the Hankook range.. those tyres are designed more towards comfortable driving.

anyone heard of firenza tyres?

are they good?

[iamhappy46]

Firenza are cheap Falken copies... Not a great tyre but OK for a cheap tyre. Wear like crazy being a very soft compound(try putting your finger nail into the tyre shops test tyre)

godamit: http://www.hankooktyre.com.au/v2/pro...h=uhpt&id=1172 235/40R18's are awesome... Currently what I am running on my X-Trail GT(Jap turbo version)

i second that.
Hankook Ventus RS-2 Z212
205/45R16
paid $185 per tyre.

incredible grip in both wet and dry. accelerating traction in the wet is also brilliant. i changed to these from Dunlop FM901 and i feel these are very similar, probly better for lateral grip. basically i've been able to take corners posted as 30kmh at close to 80kmh and these havent even felt like they were going to give.
after looking at other tyres (dunlop direzza, various Yokohamas) of the same class i found these were well priced, prob cos they are korean rather than japanese. very happy i went with these.

falken rt215 or bridgestone G111... considering they are the same price and i would track my car about 3-4 times a year on a single set of wheels..

car used for both street and play..

which would you get?

They both work good but RT215 worn quite fast, maybe you could try RT615, it's out already

off topic a bit, what psi should a 205/45 R16 be inflated to for street use?

[iamhappy46]

205/45R16 should be at around 36psi
