Just noticed it has been categorised under Ultra High Performance Summer in Tirerack but yeah the S03s I mentioned in previous post was under the Max Performance Summer.
At the moment, S Drive on the top spot for Ultra High Performance Summer.

I will definitely keep them in mind & get some quotes for them, I just ordered the rims this morning.. I will buy the tyres in three-four weeks when I am back in Australia.. That way it breaks up the bill in two, so it doesn’t seem like I am spending so much on wheels & tyres..

Just to throw another opinion in here, a Commodore is way too heavy and dynamically dependent on tyres for the PZero... no wonder you chewed them out so quick. On a Liberty they last a bit longer than 2 months and are very grippy. Expect about 20,000km out of them at most if you are a 'spirited' driver. Mate has an SS and it chewed Pirelli's in no time, seems Adrenalin's are a good match for him/it.

Like you guys, I've been through cheap and expensive and there is no comparison. I will never buy cheap shit tyres again.

I will back up the Falken 452 comments, I had them on my last car and they were very good. Been around for a long while now whichis probably part of the reason they are down in price, I do recall they were a fave of the WRX brigade in the early 00's.

Very happy with them.

If i wanted to save money I would of gone the Falken FK452, heard great things about them. If i recall recorrectly, they went for about $300

Do you know if these are these the same/similar tyre?
235/35R19 Yokohama V103 = $400ea (in stock)

I shouldn’t have the same rear wheel traction problem I had with the GTS.. and I don’t have to worry about the awful camber anymore, the outsides of the tyres were still in pretty good shape while the inside were down to the wire.. Hence my shock when they actually blew out after only two months..
