[Q?] Bang For Buck Tyre?

[Fangin_RX]

Kumho are good tyres we fit alot of them to WRX's for some reason, Or i was gonna say go with the Blue streak GT555+ good tyre fitted them to a Merc today at work. But you already bought the KU36s

225/40s go fine on a 7inch rim providing they have a stiff sidewall (the kuhmo's do)

I guess they just state a minimum rim width of 7.5" as sales minimisation tactic then?

Yeah, most companies do things like that.

Note to others, people in tyre shops and on the internet just make stuff up - caveat emptor.

i've had mine on for at least 5000ks (my07 gt spec b 18s 7inchs wide) and have had no issues whatsoever, no sidewall flex or tyre bulging. run 38psi cold all round.

I personally swear by Toyo Teos. I had them on the silvia, they were about $150 each, but they had really good grip in the dry AND wet and lasted a very long time (about 3-4 years) years)

Guessing the Silvia didn't see any drift action then

Thing to remember, is just because a tyre is good on one type of car, doesn't mean it'll be good on another.

Take the Eagle F1's... They get good reviews on test cars (Generally Commies) but people who have had them on Lib's don't think much of them.
