Tyre Recommendation thread

[aaronng]

Man, C Drives sound like the way to go then, thanks guys!!!

After you get them, drive normally for the first 100km to wear it in. I did a stupid thing and tested the tyres within the first 5km. Let's just say that a FWD can snap oversteer with new tyres.

GOODYEAR F1 GS-D3 EAGLES:
I have these in 195/50/R15 on my eg. They are an awesome tyre in wet and dry. I have had no problems with aqua planing like i have in the past with other tyres on my car. Approx. $125.00each fitted. I highly recommend these. The only down side to them is that they can be noisey when pushed but this doesnt bother me.

advan sport v103

top of the line street tyre from yokohama officially available in australia.

amazing grip, firm sidewall, love it to death.

a few downsides... price, tread wear (rating of 180), and no real noise/squeal when they loose grip - can be a bit scarey for the novice (ie me)

Just wondering that anyone know the price for the following tyres....

DZ101, RT215, RT615 on 195/55/15

I second that. I've had em on my car and performs very well. Although $125 is very cheap, what size is it for? Also, be aware that there are ones made in Germany and there are ones made in Thailand. I was told the one made in Germany performs better than Thailand made.
