XR6T4ME Member 186 Member For: 21y 9m 9d Location: Melbourne Posted 17/08/06 10:04 AM Share Posted 17/08/06 10:04 AM Well got some prices today on the Michelin PP2.The best so far without ringing 20 tyre shops:245/40/18 @ $550 each235/40/18 @ $350 each !!! Does that sound right - 10mm for $200 per tyre? They are going on some XR factory 18s so I may have to go with the 235s. Bugger paying $800 for 10mm!
