Tyres

[Wogan]

Heyas.

I'm currently looking for some tyres for my new wheels. After some decent 235x35x18. Tried my local Tyrepower, but the lady there told me i was making up tyre sizes, and went on to argue with me when i proved her wrong on multiple topics. So i won't be buying tyres off them... ever.

I realise they aren't a common tyre size, but any propper sports tyre brand will make them.

Anyway, i'm in the western suburbs, NOR.. Looking for somewhere that does decent tyres. Thought i'd find out where most of you go.

Any suggestions appreciated.

i get mine from coles lol

[Topaz]

I ordered mine from a guy over East. Yokohama Advan A10A's for $880. Not that grippy though...

I got some from tyrepower just recently, asked for 225x50x17... they didn't have stock but got some in ready for my booking. Came out with 225x45x17... didn't care enough to go back and complain especially when I don't even know the difference between 50/45 etc. I'm guessing it's the width of the tyre?

[Wogan]

it's the aspect ratio of the tyres.. depicts the height of the tyre wall as a % of the width.

ie, your tyres you asked for were 112.5mm tall, the ones you got were 101.25mm

[br3ndan]

yeah thats correct... it also can change your speedo... i think it will make it read slower then what actually the car is travelling at.

Yang is now at the Claremont Beaurepairs i think.

Thanks heaps for your replies everyone.

Gonna spend a bit of time workin out the best plan. Thinking of some Falken FK452 225/35/18's ... or maybe some Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 in the same size.

235/35/18 is not a common size but its definately made.

tire companies will obviously make loads of common sizes and few less common sizes, that stupid woman doesnt know jack!

haha that's no good! I only got the rear tyres changed, the front tyres are still 50's.

Edit: just checked my tyres then and the fronts are 45's, so it's all good. I thought they all used to be 50's but it must have just been the rear tyres.

Best bet is probably some Federals. Have to get 595s for 19" .. probably looking at $350 a tyre (for the 245s) . They're a good looking well performing tyre.
