my turn for tyres too :titwave:

quotes so far

  1. Dunlops $350.00
  2. Maxxis's199.00
  3. Nankangs $195.00

Hi Shazz,

The price for the Maxxis seems awfully cheap. Were they quoting you on the MA-V1 or MA-Z1? The V1's are only a performance tyre, not a high performance tyre, they're ok but no where near as good as the Z1's. I paid $247 fitted for my Z1's a couple of months ago.

I run the mav-1s in 18inch and they are fantastic - my car may only be stock but it gets tested out pretty often and they are holding real well
