Tyre Shops

[d00dz]

Ive searched and doesnt seem to be a thread about this...

So where are the good/value for money tyre shops?

I need to get some new tyres and not sure where, local shops seem to be asking for $459 for one bridgestone S03. And $500 for Continental Sports Contact 2.

255/40/17

So where do you get yours for? and how much?

Does it vary from suburb to suburb?

Nah man... just go to Tempe, ask for Simon, tell them i sent ya and he'll hook ya up... Sumitomos excellent tyres... Nankang/ Falken.. shit.

[Duncan]

haha yeah go to tempe, just make sure they fit the right tyres....twice now that have put the wrong ones on the rim for me....they must have been confused because I asked for decent falkens (fk451) instead of the usual 326 deathtraps.

But if you are buying tyres in the $500 range, got for the dunlop SP Sport 9000 they are excellent.

Black tyres guildford.

blokes name is Adib, he is always busy as to do fitting, but he is cheap.

I think number 60-70 Railway St, Guildford / Yeenora.

Tell him Darko with the skyline sent you.

17" michellin pilots/pirelli P0z ~$100 each second hand with ~80% rubber or so (which will outlast shit brand new tyres anyday and much better grip etc.), ask him and see how you go.

Thanks guys but I went to my local tyrepower and they did Toyo T1Rs for $350. Which i think are good. Was the price range and quality I wanted...

Personally I dont really like tempe tyres are the service there is

i just bought new tyers yesterday from a cheaper place.. couldnt afford expencive ones.. but yer, i got Nackang Ultra Sport NS-II 255/40/17 rear for $170 and 235/45/17 front for $120 ... they grip a crap load better then what i had b4. i can actualy let my right foot drop (not heaps fast) in first and it doesnt spin the wheels.. b4 i had to take it quite easy or it would spin and kick out to the left or right.. (195rwkw) oh well

MAR55S, y u say nackng are crap? .. im sure that not great, cause there piss cheap, lol.. but it doesnt seem too bad for me atm

oh yeh, got the tyers from a place in granville called "7 Day Tyer/Wheel" $580 for all the tyers.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIPPPP OOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[mass_iv]

i agree champ, that is a ridiculous price for tyres, when all u are going to do is treat them like shit anyways!!!!! i will never pay $2k for a set of tyres unless i new i was going to die tomorrow.

p.s. i also think that eagle tyres in granville are pretty cheap, and have good service.

You don't have to tell them anyone sent you, or do a secret handshake. I shopped around for similar sized tyres and these guys were ok. You can tell them Matboy is sexy if you want... but they'd already know

Prices were really good, service was ok. I got a set of Toyo TPG's 235/45r17 and 255/40r17 for about $800ish? something like that.

[Silver-Arrowz]

$2k all round is a rip off for new Pirelli P-Zero's???

Why buy a nice car when your going to treat that like sh*t too?

Frankly I don't compromise when it comes to tyres. It's the only part of the car that comes in contact with the tarmac. Have all the suspension/turbo/brakes/flashy bits you want, but add cheap rubber in there and it all comes to nothing.

read my post bud

btw michellin pilots > pirelli P0s =)

[Silver-Arrowz]

Pilot sports? I've had them on my old GTR and they're pretty good. Any other Michelin.... don't think so.

Anyhow, second hand tyres. I use to them. I had a set of P-Zero assymetrical on the GTR but they felt somewhat... lacking. Drove a mates 200SX with brand new P-Zero Nero's and the grip levels were a lot higher. I'm guessing the later generation PZero have differing compound.
