You get them for $180 a corner fitted and balanced.Do you go through 3 sets because of the kms you do or just the way you drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skidude Member 115 Member For: 15y 1m 11d Gender: Male Location: Penrith, NSW Posted 28/07/10 08:43 AM Share Posted 28/07/10 08:43 AM I have 245/35/20 Zeetex on mine.They are an "A" rated tyre for grip (AA being highest).As to be expected, they dont grip as well as the standard dunlop sportmax.They're reasonably quiet considering I'm on 20's.Wear wise, I cant seem to kill them. I've done 2 track days at Wakefield and around 12K on them and they don't seem to have reached half life. (I do rotate tyres every 5k).They're fine in the wet as long as you take it easy. No aquaplaning at highway speeds either.I'm happy with them considering they came as part of a package deal. But I will be buying something AA rated next time as these turbos really need every bit of grip once the boost kicks in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockafellqeinstien Member 325 Member For: 16y 2m 26d Posted 02/08/10 01:55 AM Share Posted 02/08/10 01:55 AM where abouts do you get them from? I do a heap of KMS and like to "push" the rear tyres hard so I also go for cheap tyres (3 sets a year). currently I have sunew 245/45/18 (45 series fits) for $150 fitted from stgeorge tyres. They are fine except when the tread gets low they are death in the wet (I tend to use up remaining tread very quickly at that point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
