Soo time for tyres

Postby NoOzL47 » Sun Jun 28, 2009 11:22 pm

Hey guys,

well after sending a Pirelli Pzero Rosso to tyre hell during a morning touge run i noticed my tyres are up for replacement haha.

With money being no object... what is a good set of tyres to fit an 18 inch rim? Need something good for everyday driving + the occasion 'spirited' run through fun roads haha

If you're after a daily driver tire with an occassional squirt, no need to go 'money's no object' sort of tire. Some of the mid-range budget tires will do the trick. Having a blast so far on Hankook Ventus S1 Evo K107, which I picked up from Tempe Tyres for $175 (in 225/35-19). Cheap! So far grip is good on dry and wet, quiet, and pretty comfortable.

Just fitted Yokohama Advans in 215/45/18 for $345 each.

Great grip. Quiet. Pretty reasonable price. Back to cornering on rails 8)
