Good buying me thinks. People seem to whinge a bit about tyre noise with the evos also. I hate noisy tyres Edited 27/01/12 12:16 PM by Bomber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yokos the stickiest, soft sidewall(got bubbles) but expensive. Achillies cheap with ok grip for the price. Dunlop the noisiest when worn, lost grip when pushed and damn expensive.

A mate has had heaps of sidwall splits, bulges etc running the Achilles, Nexen and the likes, so running cheap ass tyres worries me a bit. To be fair, that's on a hi-lux ute running 20's.

Side by side un-mounted the evos are wider than both the Yoko advan and Achiilies. The 275 Achillies were almost the same size as a 245 advan. 275evo's sit nice on 9.5 with good bulge and rim protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federal's website says you can, but have had feedback from a couple of tyre shops that you can't get this size in oz?Probably am leaning towards the ku31's. Cheaper by $190 for the set and 320 treadwear compared with 240. Looked at the tread on both today and you can see why the evos would be noisy also. They do look nice though.
