spin Member 15 Member For: 21y 1m 11d Location: Melbourne Posted 29/09/04 04:36 PM Share Posted 29/09/04 04:36 PM Well.. my butt is sore after this one...Found a bubble in the FL sidewall caused by poor road maintenance ...pothole.I havn't even reached 20,000K's (just under) and my rear Dunlop SP9000's are shot.tread is down to the indicators.Front tyre wear down the center, other front has major wear on the sides... (was I wrong in assuming my new car would have a balanced set of rubber?)I didn't have too much time in looking for a replacement to the sp9000's and started looking for the best price I could get for them.5 places quoted me on average $525 fitted and balanced. 245/40/Z18X3 purchased for $415 each.After driving a Nissan Navara for a few years, I've been pretty happy with them lol.. well until I checked the tread...50/50 hwy/cty driving, I do like to push her a bit but new rubber under 20,000k's? no way ...mr. tyre man says you should get around 40,000k out of them.

Donating Members 1,199 Member For: 21y 1m 19d Location: Sydney Posted 30/09/04 11:27 PM Share Posted 30/09/04 11:27 PM I've had Yokohama, Marshall, Good Year and Dunlop and I've found them all to be second rate compared to the Bridgestone SO3. I'm about to replace my current set within the next week or so which I paid $330ea for. Just like any perfrormance 18" trye dont expect big K's, I get approx 24-25 thousand out of a set rotating them regularly. They are fitted to HWP vehicles so maybe our fellow forum policemen can tell us what they think. I can only see the S03's in 235/40/18...correct me if I am wrong.
