Im thinking of buying some tyres off ebay. Any one done this before? I found fedderal 595 245/40 for about 180 delivered each. That seems pretty cheap. Any opinions on fedderal?Remember it will cost $20 each for fitting and balancing. What price for the achilles at tech9. Maybe just go the nexen. I think the 595 are good. It doesnt matter what tyre I have on they last less than 5000ks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a good tyre, Just haven't worn evenly. There directional tyres so I guess I will have to have a look see if I can get away with getting 2 for now. The only reason I consider the Federals is cause there so expensive in shops so for the same price as buying new nexons I could have better tyres buying from ebay. The plan is I just need decent enough grip for now with the car being stock. In about 6 months time if all goes to plan im getting a tune and a few more mods so then I will invest in some good wide tyres. Thinking 275's will be enough.

I bought 4 x 275/30/20 achilles for $880 delivered to my door. Dont forget you need min 9.5 inch rim for a 275 Edited 24/04/11 04:14 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donating Members 1,655 Member For: 16y 8d Gender: Male Location: brisbane Posted 25/04/11 02:44 AM Share Posted 25/04/11 02:44 AM I think you need a load rating of at least 93 for these cars,in case you have a stack for insurance sake..

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 25/04/11 05:07 AM Share Posted 25/04/11 05:07 AM Yes 93. I had the 5000's on and they got pretty noisy when half way worn. KU31's are down to the depth indicator and still sound the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/04/11 06:49 AM Author Share Posted 25/04/11 06:49 AM So if I got those Kumos I wouldn't be covered by insurance cause there only 92? I like the look of the federals only thing is that photo makes them look like they have nothing on the side of the tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
