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?

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.

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

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.

Aussie Best Tyres

Great Western Highway, St Marys

02 9673 6699

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 :P

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.

$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.

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.

      Surprisingly the D6000 is only $1999, I'm waiting for the BF/CM sales, and hoping to get one cheaper. D4000 is well priced, still outperforms the 13" SVS PB-3000 and is like 1/2 the price at $1699 RRP. I do watch a fair amount of movies, and listen to EDM, jazz, symphonies, etc. so the lower notes from a subwoofer are always appreciated. The front 8" stage, just doesn't provide you with lively feeling, even though they are pretty bassy for a pair of large bookshelves. Then again, these days it's just playing Wiggles, Blippi and Ms Rachel, another reason the 3m wide cabinet exists, to hide all the audio gear behind it. They used to sit on a nice pair of stands, but as you know, they make good baby traps too.

      Granted, which is a solid reason why I don't have one. My floorstanders are only -2 dB at 22 Hz.  So they're still working down to <20 Hz. Which is no doubt part of the reason why my receiver shits the bed! That Tonewinner would be about double the cost though, so it's not apples and apples. There aren't many AU$1300 subs (that you can buy prebuilt, I'm ignoring what can be achieved by DIYing) that compete.

      -6dB at 22Hz isn't that great, watch the data from the D6000 from REW

      I'll just leave this here. https://www.adelaidespeakers.com/subwoofers.html TL loading, big power. They sound awesome. This is what I would buy if I was going to try to take the bass away from my floorstanders. Just go with the 12".

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
