Chasing some new tires for my new rims. 185/60 or 185/55 and around 150 each. What are your reccomendations? Also where to shop would be nice also.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

$150????? what the f@$k are you on????" you can get some maxxis suprasa 195/60's for way less than that! :)

Tires for what purpose? My Firestone SZ50's (what are on the front of the red car and all round my white one) are $85 each, 185/60R14. If I'm not mistaken Toyo semi slicks are about $190 or so each.

he might want really good tyres !

 

:)

Yeah I was looking for more up market tires. I've been looking at the $120 - $150 range Azenis ST-115, Potenza GIII, Yokohama A539 etc

 

Hmm wonder how much a set of A032R is??? :)

barum brilliants from kmart $37 each :)

all my friends who have dunlop fm901s think they are the best tyres in the world, i'll probably get a set of them when it comes time to spend money on rubber

In the wheels tyre test bf goodrich gforce sport i think they are called were the best. the price they said was $144 but they were for 195/55/15. They seem pretty good. If not them i would go yoko A539s, dunlop fm901s or potenza gIII's.

theres a place over strathpine way *thinks* Strathpine Second Hand and New Tyres 3205 8100...that sells 2nd tyres from japan (ie: 1 season (5-10k)) ranging from $30 - $100....they stock all the major brands adn for the most part you can't tell the difference between new ones

 

there was actually a story on this the other day on one of the news programs...apparently the way to go if you want some good cheap burn *cough* out *cough* tyres :)

 

has anyone of you guys been there?

I was keen to try out the new FM901 replacement Direzza DZ101 bit they don't come in a 14.

down here, all the tyre shops except kmart just leave their old tires around the side or out the back in a designated area and get them picked up once a fortnight/month/whatever. it's quite common for people to go at night and get some burnout tires (or hell, street tires if yours are worse!) for free. saves the shops having to pay to dump them *shrug*

pfft. I'd never do a thing like that....

I would lol... I am in despret need of tyers lol... Nick..*insert whinge here* :P

haha no need for stealing shenanigans, just go and ask them for some oldies. I did :P

go the the bloody wreckers...you can pickup a full set of rims and tyres for like $50
