what tyres should i choose???

[JimX]

Proxes are good, but expensive. I was considering them until I found the ones I wanted were $450 a pop (rears).

what's something reasonable for $250/corner in 17?

prolly 255 at the rear and 235 upfront?

[JimX]

At this stage I'm thinking of ST115's which are around $1000 for all 4 corners in the same sizes you mentioned.

Depending on how rich I'm feeling when my tyres need replacing next year, I may consider something a little more expensive. I think Franks got a good deal on the Toyo RS1's for around $1300.

hmmm, my lease might let me go the RS1's...will have to call bob jane

report back,

replace my two rear FM901 to RT225 (Falken semi slick), it out perform fm901 in dry (of course), but suprisinly they perform well as good as FM901 in the wet in past three weeks of wet sydney weather..300ea from tempe 255x40x17

[JimX]

Do you know roughly how many k's you will get out of the RT225's?

Also any new tyre will out perform a worn out one in the wet, because it has new tread. I would try to judge them on their own merit rather than comparing them to your old ones.

My fm901 only done 5000, replace them bcoz one of then got cut at side..so instead change only one, I replace both at rear and use the old one for spare..so that should not fall into whatever you said..
