I like the tyre and they have been good for me. There's plenty out there to choose from, just comes down to budget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EACH. now I love having the best stuff on my car, but when I can get falcon/kuhmos for $600-$700 a pair its kind of hard to split with 2 times the cash for something that wont give me 2 times the life or preformance. if u watch all the tyre testing videos every year, the difference is never that much. a few kms slower aroud a corner or an extra 2 meters on stopping from 100km/h. for something used as a daily.....its also y I dont buy my tyres from dealerships. id like to support the local guys but I can almost half the cost with tirerack.com and a few importers I know in melbourne. things like 17" tyres are another ballpark. 1/4 the cost of bigger wheels and you can also get a much better range of tyres. id buy local and quality if I was in that price range Edited 18/02/12 10:08 PM by Krazy Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyBrennan Donating Members 683 Member For: 13y 5m 28d Gender: Male Location: Baldivis, Wait Ages. Posted 19/02/12 01:15 AM Share Posted 19/02/12 01:15 AM I'm a big fan of KU31's as bang for buck. Just got 2 more on the fronts for 168ea fitted and balanced. I have Invos on the back which cost me about 180ea to have delivered, then pay to have them fitted. So far the invos don't seem to grip a great deal more. A little more, but I was expecting big things from the way they were talked up. KU31 treadwear rating 320, Invo = 260.edit- 235/45/17 sizes.If the invos do grip a bit more I am prepared to spend the money but if its not really noticeable maybe its not worth it?For 245/40 r18 Its $435 for 2x ku 31's delivered then need to get fitted.Or $520 for 2x nitto invos delivered then need to get fitted.

Just buy some round black ones and smoke the F_uck out of them.haha I went to peel tyres in Mandurah. They were trying to tell me how Allan Moffat did a track day with 10 different tyre brands and he didn't know what brand was what. They told me gt radials were the 8th to test and Allan said these are the best I want to indorse these O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
