Noisy Bridgestone RE050A's... wasn't tyres after all...

If you're on a smaller budget, you should consider the Dunlop Direzza DZ-101. A pretty quiet, comfortable tire that has excellent grip. Had them previously on my other 19's. Some of the most comfortable 19's you could imagine. More comfortable, quiet, and settled than the 18's. Still a notch under the RE050's but one of the better values to be had.

what price have you found the RE050A's for?

I haven't started looking yet Ric... got a few thousand kays to go. Anyone else? They're pretty pricey from what I understand!

Just checked Dunlops .au website and it seems the Direzza is not available in the 215/45/18 size. Only 215/40 or 225/45. Back to Bridgies or Pirelli's.

Sorry about that. I forgot to mention the DZ-101's don't come in that size. Only in 225/40-18 (recommend because it looks more sporty) or even 225/45-18 (for that stock look).

But yeah, since Pirelli and Bridgestone are pretty much the only ones to make it in 215/45-18, they can command a high price (anything with OEM in it practically doubles the price).

Good luck!
