Hey guys. I have the fedral brand tyres on the rear which are 255/40/r17. They cost me $175 brand new fitted. They seem to be okay. Good grip etc. I am not sure how long i will get out of them though. They were the cheapest i could find round my area. Got them from lillydale.

Nice tread design on them.. bit out of my price range though.

Yeah mate i wouldnt by them brand new a bit pricey, very lucky to find them at $85 each. Just keep an eye out for seconds some places have them just fortunate enough there is a guy in Brisbane who deals in second 17,18,19 and 20" tyres.

i have the same tyres on the rear of my car atm similar price aswell.

i have nankangs on the fronts.

they seem to grip ok but they are a new tyre only a few weeks old, so until they loose a bit of there tread u wont really see much of the grip factor, but they seem pretty grippy for the price at the moment......

nankangs are about 30,000km old and still goin strong but they are on the fronts so not lossing traction at all which saves a bit of rubber.

Guys....get back on the subject.

New performance tyres under $300.

Not second hand for Fiddy bucks .

Or nankangs for hundred cause i don't go faster than hundred :laugh:

What is the point of saying..

I got a set for free given to me by my uncle and they are great and have lasted me 20000KM's

I think they are dunlop...lol :)

Hey guys well i took the advice of whoever said the falken 452's and im glad i did they are awesome. i dont know bout getting a set for $1100, but they are bloody good. i paid $326 per tyre, i only needed two, and they were 255/35/18. apparently they are falkens flagship tyre, overtaking the 451's, and im heaps happy.

i dont condone anything illegal and all that crap but just for measure, a corner i used to be able to take at about 80km/h i can now do at 110km/h and feel HEAPS more safer doing it, like no half sliding out or anything its like a go kart lol. wet handling is fairly good too, usually i avoided driving at all in the wet due to traction but i can use about half or two thirds throttle with no spin.

hope this helps anyone looking for tyres.
