Replacement tyres of equal quality

[Smurf]

At the moment I have some Bridgestone Potenza RE117's (i think that's their code). They have lasted a while and I have been happy with them.

Given that they are no longer made, what would be an equivalent tyre (from a performance point of view) and how much will the replacements cost.

Thanks

There's a post on tyres and prices in the QLD forum. He was quoted on Potenza's, among others. Worth your while looking at it.

Yeah I got pontenza GIIIs, and GIIs on the stockos. I think there are a fair few sorts. Might be an idea if you get no joy on here to ring up a few shops, if they all say X is the replacement then they are all probably right. Then once you know what they are you can go from there.

what about looking at the Han**** VENTUS K104 sport.

They are a "Y" rated tyre (over 300km) silica compound and i THINK the only tyre on the market rated at this Y spec.

I got some for my GTR 4X 255/40/17 at $230 a corner (JAX) are the distributor

Ive had Falken, at $350 a tyre

Michelen at $400 a tyre

dunlop at $300 a tyre, 16inch

and i feel that none of these tyres even came close to the VENTUS

my 2cents

The Ventus option sounds good. i will look into it.

I got hankook ventus sport k104's for $175 for 235/40/17s and i have to say i think they are very good, well great for the price.
