[AJPS]

i used the advan 050 on the weekend in a 195/50

very impressed

high levels of grip and progressive at the limit

Yeah man I'm keen size is sweet who is that from?

[ae71neo]

Taleb tyres

[hollywood89]

[ae71neo]

Per tyre

[sundee]

check the manufacturing date on the tyre before you lay down the cash guys...

i use a Federal 595 RS-R on my S13... BS amount of grip, even in the wet.


only thing is 14's not available

Travis flick me some prices you have got for various tyres if your after 15's and ill see if i can sort you and matt out.

I just phoned fsport and we can get 195/55/14 kumho v700 for $230 each if we buy 8 of them. So there's a few options. From cheapest to most expensive it goes:

205/55/14 Nitto NT01 $219
195/55/14 Kumho v700 $230
195/60/14 Yokohama A050 $250
185/55/14 Silverstone FTZ RR $265
205/55/14 Toyo R888 $280
195/60/14 Dunlop DZ03G $285
195/60/14 Bridgestone RE11 $320

Anyone know of any other options are out there?

Hi guys, i have been looking in to this same dilemma myself. I saw someone mention that you can't get semi's from tirerack in suitable sizes, there are in fact a few options from them however the only brand that they will ship to australia is Kumho.
They have a Semi called V710, only two of the options are a low enough price to even consider, if you can get Nitto's for $219 locally.

It is available in the following:

14s
195/55/14 - $180ea
205/55/14 - $185ea
225/50/14 - $216ea

15s
205/50/15 - $222ea
225/50/15 - $226ea

Very good point, i was looking at two sets of tyres and couldn't figure out why one was $90 less per tyre than everywhere else. Turns out they were 2007 stock whereas the others were 2011 stock.
