Where Should I Go For Cheap Tyres Deal ?

[MilkShake]

Hi guys

I'm new here. I got an 33 gtst and it needs a new set of tyres

Can anyone recommend me where should I go for one (including fitting, balancing etc) and also what brand and model ?

It's now front 235/45/17 and rear 255/40/17.

also what should be the pressure in both front and rear tyres ?

The budget is super limited - -" as I'm a student and paying for these myself so preferably something like $1xx and would be really great if the place could be in Preston or somewhere near

I'm sorry if something I asked is stupid but I'm really new to this

Help me please

Thanks in advance

The Bridgstone Tyre Centre in Preston. Corner of High street and Bells' I think.

He's got some good deals there. Got myself some RE001's for $120 each fitted and balanced. Normally go for $140+.

17's with those profiles, i'd run around 38psi - 18's with 35 profiles, i run 40psi

What were they, 195/60/15 or something?

235/45/17 RE001's are closer to $220-$250 fitted EACH.

They have never been sub $200 for 17's

Ring any Bridgestone dealer and they'll tell you the same

please dont buy $50 tyres in a GTST

you will kill yourself

please use common sense

in a rwd car with power you need good tyres

budget $200 a tyre minimum

With that budget, you'll be getting yourself one of the following brands:

Nankang

Wanli

Ling long

Insert Chinese brand name here.

Bridgestone RE001's are a nice tyre.

ROFL! No, I think his budget would suit secondhand re-treaded chinese-branded tyres.

Seriously, I think The Tyre Factory are probably the cheapest.

My mate got 20" Wanlis for around $200 a tire...so 17's for $1xx shouldn't be too much trouble ...

I just got new tyres for my 33, they are zeetex, 235 40 18, i have around 220 rwkw and it handles the power pretty good, last set i had handled the wet well too, they were $165 each, bit cheaper for 17's, got them from motorsport wheels and tyres on south gippy hwy in dandy.

[tets]

i spend like 20-30 dollars a tyre. and im still alive for now...

last time i spent as much as u guys for tires i ended up with 2x 18 40 245 bridgestone re050a with 95% tread costed me 200 for the pair.

LOL.

[BeEnAr]

for a decent tyre in that size for that money, your best bet will be Korean. Hankook or Kuhmo. You might be able to wrangle some Toyo or Falken but I doubt it. Oh also you will get into some Federals for that money but they will wear out FAST!!

[MilkShake]

Hmmm anyone can recommend me where can I go for cheap Hankook or Kumho in Preston or somewhere near ?
