Anyone bought new tyres recently.

I need 2 x 235/45/17

i am not sure on secondhand but hey if its decent and cheap then yeah thats fine

bit otherwise and cheapish but decent tyres for everyday use that wont be waterskis

actually 235 or 255 cos the rears are 17x8 or 8.5

i got 2 decent toyo proxies so i prolly only need 2

does anyone have opinions on tyres

no not nittos too expensive at this stage

thanks skyzer, 20,000 huh...hmmm thats roughly 12 months for me I think, that's how long my current crappy no name brand tyres have lasted ;) and they're really starting to wear on the insides of the rears.

Anyone know the price and availability on 2 x 235/45/17 and 2 x 255/40/17 Nittos? I heard Jash had some coming in and i think $370 was the price but I have no idea what sizes he was getting or how many.

I think even top quality tyres will wear the insides of the rears if you have a camber problem.

I'd say your car has been lowered without any camber correction.

Get Wilkinson Suspension to correct this before wearing out new tyres prematurely. You'll get better traction too.

For a cheapish tyre try Kumho 512's from Wanneroo Tyrepower for less than $200 last time I bought. Sure there is better if you want to spend the money ,depends on how you use the car.

The Simex tyres are quite good for the rear tyres, if wide enough.

Get a 50/55 profile for the back.

For front tyres go a tyre with more sidewall strength, not simex.

If you got some $$ then the 540's are mint. Mat (whatsisname) has some and we took his car for a belt (very quick) and very little traction lost at all once warm.
