Kingo199 Member 11 Member For: 14y 7m 3d Gender: Male Location: Townsville Posted 04/05/11 12:21 PM Share Posted 04/05/11 12:21 PM Im currently on the look out for some new tyres for my FG XR6TI am quite happy with the Dunlop SP3000A 245/40 x 18 that came with it from factory. I have managed to get 45K out of them and it has not been the easiest of driving. Towing a trailer (about 1.2 Tonne) from townsville to Bris 3 times a year and the usual hard acceleration for a kick every now and then. I'd like to get some thoughts on whats out there.... been searching threads for info but cannot find to much. The car wont be doing any track work, just need a quality tyre.Happy to pay up to $300 a wheel. I know that I can get the Dunlop SP3000A 245/40 x 18 cheap, and am happy to stick with them as they are ok. But it never hurts to ask.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 6m 20d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 05/05/11 11:20 AM Share Posted 05/05/11 11:20 AM I've got Blue Streaks on my car. I needed tyres unexpectedly and they were a really cheap option.They're a lot quieter than the standard Dunlops and they cope reasonably well considering how cheap they are.

sam_rigger Member 246 Member For: 13y 10m Posted 13/05/11 10:59 AM Share Posted 13/05/11 10:59 AM 200 still is better than 600 on the dunlops as I was quoted recently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
