Best Tyres Under $300 Each

Ive read the tyre comparison stickied but still cant come to a conclusion which tyres i should get. I need two rear tyres as they are on the belts, and i dont want to spend over $300 each. I have no idea about tyres and i need two 255/35/18's. ive sussed out some prices, $240 for Nexens, but someone said they were a shitty compliance tyre. I can get Hankooks for $289 (they couldnt tell me the name of them, apparently they have only one?) and yokohamas for $520! apparently they are really soft and get eaten up really quickly tho.

So im just looking for really good grip in dry and good lifespan (not excellent, willing to trade some for better grip).

So what does everybody think would be the best option?

I put Nexens on my car, there not that bad, I think that there better than the g-grid II's that i used to have. $225 each for 245/40/18.

Hi,

I am getting a set of Hangkook 275/35/18 K104Ventus Y rated fitted and balanced for $310Each....

I have been running a new set for 1 year 245/45/17 K104's $255 Each and they have not missed a beat.

I would highly recommend these to anybody who wants their performance tyres to last.

Nexens sounds very cheap for a performance tyre....what rating are they?

Do they have 255/265/275/280/285 Sizes in these?

Cheers

The Nexens are normally rated as a Car Yard Tyre, you will see a heap of them and Sava's on car yard cars, as they are cheap (price and quality) and they are a new tyre, just some advice on them.

The Hankooks arnt that bad for the money, you are getting into a trusted tyre brand, and they still have a name to uphold in the market, so they dont tend to put out crap tyres, but they do have different quality tyres for different prices, so the bottem end of the price range you are getting a bottem end tyre from there range.

The Federals are a Great quiet tyre with a good wear on them, and once again are a lower price than the Bridgestones and the Pirilli's, and wont be as soft as them either, but I think for the money they would prolly be a look in, if you can get them in that size in your area.

and the Falkens are a great softer compound tyre, normally means slightly higher grip, lower road noise, and also a slightly shorter road life, but once again in the price bracket you have stated, I would point you into one of these 3 brands. Hankook, Falken, Federal.

Hope this helped.

Hi there,

Thanks for this.

The reason I stated this was since I have had them I have seen hardly much tyre wear and

comfort has been great compared to the Jap. Advans that were on then previously.

I have seen Hangkook test these tyres on the track on a R34GTR

going around the Nur. Ring. in Germany.

They are Y rated...ie 300KM's an hour and have a warranty on wear.

Sure they have just launched the new K107's but these are 200 Dollars more each.

So my answer to this question asked on this thread is.

Hangkook K104's 245/45/17 are Y rated, great tyres that I am using at the moment.

Tested at 300KM's an Hour, track proven......for a street car.

They cost around $275 Each fitted and balanced which is under $300 Each. :)

Cheers

toyo trampios are alright for their price, but if i were to choose again i would probly go the hankook k104. just to try them out

got the toyo TPGs but wasnt too happy with em, had falken ZE512 and they shit all over the toyos.

heard good things about hankook though, try them

regretting the toyos a little, feel they should grip better

try the new Falken FK452s. I got a set few weeks ago 235 and 265 for $1100 all up in 18s.

Can I ask where you got them from?

I called a local Tyrepower in Sydney (that's who Falken Australia suggested) and they wanted around $320 a corner on 17"

I just put on some 285/30/18 pirelli P ZERO, $85 each with 60% tread. Look around for second hand you can get a better tyre for a cheaper price. I was told that the P ZEROs are around $900 each.

What are they Rosso A's or Giallo A's? Doesnt matter, that is a good price for 60%.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......

      I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.

      IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
