Need Advice Tyres + Rims

[climic]

I am currently have some Tenzo Cuzco V1 on order and I want to know what tyre size + brand i should go? (235/225) / (40/35) / 18!

Also with offsets would +45 be ok for both front and rears?

Or should I get +45 in rears and like +37 - 39 in fronts?

Also take into consideration I am going to in the future purchase myself some BC BR so any helpful information would be well appreciated

I've had great experience with Hankook K110. Very well priced, high performance and good wear. I've had three sets of them across the various vehicles I've owned and could not find a better tyre that lasted as long, for the same money.

I am buying some 225/40R18 HankooK VeNTuS V12 EVO K110 $157.00 each from tire-rack

I have got a quote for wheels from them as well and it is much cheaper but the shipping is killing me. about $450 for wheels and tyres shipped or $350 just tyres, obviously its more $ effective to combine shipping.

So if you wanted to combine shipping with me it would save even more money.


Gah...just noticed you're in TAS....sigh

Remember if your purchase is over $1000 you pay more to the government.
So if you are getting away with a < $1000 purchase by yourself then you have to take government charges into consideration when you combine your purchase.

Any idea how much more you pay to to Govt? I am looking at ordering some wheels/tires from tirerack.com as well and it will be well over $1000

ahhh buying tyres without a DOT approval....
Good luck if you crash into a new merc, would not like to be in your shoes if the insurance people notice your tyres are non DOT......

Just putting it out there.

fear inducing insurance warnings are always welcome

[doppler69]

OK, so I have (wisely) decided to heed advice and NOT buy tires from O/S - "jslayz" is quite correct and they would not have a DOT compliance.

My question is; is there any reason NOT to buy rims from O/S? Do rims have any sort of compliance requirements?

[iisshhyy]

Sorry but what is this DOT approval thing all about? Never heard of it

Clarence,

after spotting this today, i had to look at new rubber a few K-km short of when i'd want to replace them


Given a good review from you i've got a set on order from my local shop.
$190 a corner drive in drive out.
as compared with $295 a corner from my other local shop, or $450 for the RE050A's!

fark, that's nasty, looks like you had plenty of tread left on that tyre too .

[Robbks]

yeah the middles are ok 1.5-2mm above the indicators but the edges are pretty trashed.
too much toe in and low pressure when i got it has stuffed the inside edges
and the flogging i've given them wears the outer edges pretty hard too
