Which tyres are you using? I'm a cheapy fan to I'd be lucky to get 15000km out of a set with 5000km rotating.. Probly coz I'm a c:)t of a driver though.

Achilles ATR sport 245/35/19 cost $110 each

previously had Nitto NT05's Pirelli Pzero's Re001's maxxis Z1's Dunlop sportmax (jap ones) amongst other tyres I forget now and the Achillies ATR's hook up just as good if not better than all of them, and many skids later have lots of miles in them...

I dont know but for cheap crap rubber they arent half bad, will buy again!

I use second hand tyres and still get around 20,000km out of my front's and they don't get treated too nicely.

The rears get a bit less than that for obvious reasons but probably still 10,000km. I'm not complaining for $50 continentals.

Same here.

The bloke I get tyres from is just about to shut up shop. Cousin just bought 40 pairs of 255/45/17 for $500.

Is he planning on selling some off? No point letting them sit around going "off".

I've got standard rims with 235/45 on at the moment. Would 255 be too wide? I've always thought the narrower the better as they move around less in cornering.

Where abouts are you guys at?

Cancel that, just saw what you said about comps etc

Sorry mate, there all his plus we're in Melbourne. Narrower might give you a bit less role but also less traction. I run 255 on the back with my standard rims and they're fine.
