245 or 255 if possible/19s (standard lux pack rims) just for the rears. Or is it advisable to get new shoes on all 4? The fronts are new that's all.

Call taleb and get a couple of Invo. 245 or 255. Its a big carcass and you have an 8, what about 245 40 19 from taleb $209 each. They do a 255/35 and a 255/40. Maybe the 255/40 but its a squeeze on an 8.

Seeing as its tyre change time, why dont you get new rims and go 275/285 on the rear.

Depending on size ebay has INVO for as little as $200 each. What size do you need. We get ours from Taleb Tyres

245 40 R18

Ye Taleb quoted me the Achilles, The KU31 are from tempe...both @ $150 a pop.

So from my limited undertsanding of tyres the Achilles are a softer compound than the KU31 so should wear quicker. Estimated K's on Achilles?

How long is a piece of string. Depends on how you drive. Grandma will get 40K. I may get 1K

Tyres are a consumable and need to be consumed.

The new ATR 2 will not last as long as the ATR 1. ATR 1 were sh-t, that had a bad problem with sidewall cracking

Maybe just go the ATR2.

Just my 2c

I've owned expensive tyres on my turbo (I had nt05s) and they are an awesome Tyre but I hated driving the thing when it's on daily duty. It feels like a waste.

I go cheap now and I got 20000km out of my last seat of rears (and they went through hell).

When these tyres are gone I'll be selling my rims and stepping down to 19s with Achilles atrs. My step dad has a set on his audi and they drive very well
