Duncan Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 and what sort of tyres are you after. cheapest you can get or something that will get the car handling OK. If you're after cheapest you can get head down to tempe tyres and ask for falken fk326, the world's crappest tyres, but they are nice and cheap in big sizes Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59586-shops-for-tires/#findComment-1137149 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssM@N Posted December 27, 2004 Author Share Posted December 27, 2004 well i wouldn't want 'shit' tires, cos that'll defeat the purpose of buying wide tires in the start....... and i will definately steer away from falkens! thanks for the tip though:) AssM@N Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59586-shops-for-tires/#findComment-1137170 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted December 27, 2004 Share Posted December 27, 2004 well, your first post said "cheap" tyres not good tyres You're right, you are better off with narrow good tyres than wide, bad ones. Personally, I've got reckon the falken fk451 are the best tyres for the prices, others have recommended Dunlop SP9000. Try a search if you want to learn about good tyres, but don't bother seaching for "tires" this is not skylinesusa.com Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59586-shops-for-tires/#findComment-1137396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
