Mate if you want long life go for Falken 329, you can have them for less than $150 and will last for ever, but grip is not very good at all. My rears lasted some 20000 and a lot of those were in a spot if you know what I mean, but I replaced them before I really had to because I wanted more grip, went to Falken FK452 a lot more grip and less life.

I'm thinking about maybe getting another set of rims...Put the A13 on for cruises and hard driving days....And some average tyres for everyday use.....Then have the best of both worlds....

Guys,

I have a BA MKII Turbo with factory 17" rims. Car is stock with a tune about 240kw at the rear wheels.

I going to get myself DBA4000 front slotted rotors with QFM LTM003 pads.

I hear Michellin's PS3's are a very good tyre (about $255 per side). I'm thinking of going with 18" rims but these tyres cost about $445 per side - which I'm not willing to pay. Hence, am I better off sticking with the 17" rims with PS3's OR should I get myself 18" rims but with say Maxxis MZ1 tyres? Which setup is best for grip?

What do you guys suggest?

Found this link site when I was looking at buying a new set of tires....

The site is Canadian, however it has a large range of tyres with reviews from people that purchased them... It is an interesting read.... SUV's and Light trucks are at the top.. Scroll down further for light vehicles......
