I'm really keen on learning more about T's coz I've wanted one for ages and I still haven't got one. I'd rather ask more questions and get flamed than go out and do a 2K mod that everyone tells me is sh*t and a waste of time. There's just so much I want to know and there are lots of guys here on the forum that really know their sh*t - so thanks everyone for your input.I've looked on tyre websites and found nothing and every tyre shop I've talked to is completely different. Just wanted a rough idea.Cheers everyone. Once again - apologies...Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better off getting a specific wheel size and going from there. From what I have seen a rule of thumb would be: (for nearly all sizes, per tyre)$100-200 - don't bother$200-300 - probably the zone most people will be in. You can get some decent ones in this range. Pick carefully however. $300-400 - Good tires in this range. Starting to get pricey however$400-500 - Upper end of the market. Real performance tyres As always find out about grip (in the rain especially) and how soft they are. You might get an awesome tyre for the right price but if it wears out in 10,000km - there isn't much point.I got 20’s. My tires were $250 each and they are the sh1ttest tyres I have ever owned. I used to pay $300 for decent 18’s on my old car.Hope that helps somewhat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
