not bad on the price. i needed to change 1 rear tyre today as something unfortunate happened. was driving and heard a big pop then smoke was coming from rear view mirror. next was smell of burnt rubber and sparks. pulled over side of highway and tyre was completely damaged including the inside of the rim. cost me $389 for 275/30r19s achilles and $250 for repair for rims. was unlucky day for me =(

hrm.. i had quite a few experience with puncture tires, but not going POP... how did tat happen?? I thought tyre are design to release the gas inside slowly if punctured?

there was a nail in it and i didnt realise. whole tyre was ripped apart from the inside. i was trvelling roughly 120kph it happened too fast. wasnt really a pop but you know what i mean then the smell and i could see burned rubber. then i heard metal pieces scrapping. inside of my rim had to be repaired etc. was going to take pic of the tyre as there was a huge burnt mark where the nail was punctured in. tyre was completely torn in half from inner edge.

ouch.. lucky it's only the rim and tyre, nothing on the car itself..

Nice wheels but you've got the wrong profile tires on.

something similar to that happened to me, i was flying down conrod straight @ bathurst in my mates hyundai lantra hit about 170km.h and then BOOM left rear tyre popped and tore into half. was so hot had to wait like 30min for it to cool down before i could change the tyre to the spare

it was hot. i turned staright to my mobile - dailed RAC roadside lol. just a question though should i have change both tyres on the back to make it even or it doesnt really matter? ones nexen and the other achilles (new). the nexen is camber so one side had 30-40% left so i go them to do a swap.

also how can i get rid of my camber on the back? i have no idea about these things. all i know is apparently if you lower your car it will make the rear have camber or something>?
