Tyre Recommendation thread

how long to the C.drives last for km wise..?

Whats the TWR on them? I'm guessing around 220-260. If so, should last you around 40,000km if you take care of em.

They are the replacement for the A539.. I think they should last you for a while, but performance wise, they are fairly average. Quite a soft sidewall too.

hrmm
thats good to hear. Does anybody know the exact tread wear rating?

and how are they priced compared to say .. potenza gIII and preceda II. are they cheaper?

i think i would be looking at either preceda II or c.drive. it depends if i get some 15 inchers for spirited driving, i would definately prefer c.drive on my 17's for daily use (includes some hard cornering here and there)

Ive gone through half this thread already and couldnt come across a comprehensive list of the info i wanted. Im gonna be lazy and not search through the rest of this thread..

1. AUSM DC2R stock tyre size = 195/50/R15?
2. What tyre did they originally come with? Im guessing Bridgestone Potenza RE050?
2. Recommended "BANG FOR YOUR BUCK" tyre for my stock AUSM DC2R rims.. (<$150 a piece)

Bang for your bucks, something like BS G3/ Dunlop DZ101 (disconinued now) around 130-160

Check if they make sp sport maxxs in your size? I got mine in 17's for 222 each (few weeks ago) which was cheaper than I got the direzza dz101's 2 years ago ($255 each). Dunlop dealer at West Ryde was the cheapest place I got quoted.

Dunlop SP Sport MAXX only come in 17'' or 19'' according to their website...
No one has any Dunlop Direzza DZ101's anymore...

and since when did Bridgestone G3's sell for $165 each (195/55/R15)???? Focking expensive man.... anyone know a really cheap place for G3's in my size???
schucks man...

go the Good year GSD3 then.. in your size it should be well under 150.
My friend just bought a 16", for $150 each.

They are a good tyre, and will last a long time too.

the website isn't up to date for the sp sport maxx. call your local dunlop dealer and see if they have your size. the 17 inch size I have wasn't listed on dunlop site either.

Anyone got any feedback on the Yokohama A.drive R1s? also, anyone know the load rating of AD07s?

According to Yokie website, A.drive R1s is higher performance ranked than C.drive, have to call up the sport tyre dealer for the load rating of AD07s though....

I'm getting some new rims from tempe this month, whats decent rubber I should get with it? Nothing too expensive or exotic like P0's - but something with really good dry grip, average wet and nice thread pattern? 205/45/R17. or 215/45/R17 .. whichever has the most tyre choices.
