Im just curious as to what size tyres you guys run and how much they cost? Im running 265/40 17in Falken. about $360-$380ea. rear 225/45 17in Royal. About $140-$160ea. front
lol...im running the cheapest tyres possible and still sets me back $230 a tyre 215/35/19 Nangkangs $230 a pop similar Falkens cost about double this
I have yoko's on my 19's 235/30/19 on the fronts and 265/35/19's on the rear. Ill tell you now the price is scary! my front tyres are mm for mm on the edge of the legal diametre increase. and the rears are 4mm under. So from what i've read a few people are over that...
Maxxis Victra MA-Z1 225/45ZR17 all round, less than $200 each, but I don't know the exact price because they were part of a package deal from Rik (roi) at Bob Jane. They're only 3mm different diameter than the OEM wheels/tyre setup, and, so far, seem to be very good all-rounders.
Tyres I use the same package as DrewZ, same sort of price, they perform well, nice and sticky on the road with no movement
Timely thread, just had a blow out yesterday. 255 40 17 rears $180+ (Federal atm) 235 45 17 fronts $140+
Turns out tyre wear was being caused by a ridiculous toe in setting. Feels like a totally different car now.
Semi's all round... Front: 245/40/R18 Bridgestone Potenza RE-55s $510 a pop (hard compound) Rear :265/35/R18 Yokohama ADVAN AO-48 $630 a pop (medium/hard compound) I will never touch a street radial again.
Just pickup some more Nankang NSII 235/40R18 $151 over east. They wanted 280 for them here.. Other car runs Nexen N3000 275/35ZR18 $220ea
i don't pay for tyres... Bob does. I pay him back with grueling slave labour 6 days a week. who wins? not me.
