R19 Y93's.I'm not looking to put amazing tyres on, but don't exactly want complete sh*t on there either, I'd like to get something as cheap as possible/reasonable.So far I've been quoted about $160 each corner fitted and balanced for something called "Maxxis Hifly's", never heard of them before, and from a google search I'm not even 100% sure they're actually Maxxis.Any thoughts/advice/help please?

MA-Z1's are really good bang for buck, I'd steer well clear of hifly's, they're made by hengfeng rubber in china who also make ovation, kinforest etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyathe Donating Members 872 Member For: 10y 10m 22d Gender: Male Posted 25/08/14 10:50 AM Share Posted 25/08/14 10:50 AM Actually I'll be honest, I used to fit hifly's all day everyday for 6 years and I noticed the quality increase dramatically since they started shipping them over. Whilst they're not actually a bad tyre, they don't even compare in grip level to the bigger name brand stuff (kumho, nitto, Yokohama, toyo) etcSo if they're going on a mirage or magna or even a Late model camira then sure whack em on, but don't cheap out if you want to actually have some grip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want something that'll not be like riding on soap in the wet or let go under sudden braking etc and that'll last a while (unless you know.. skids).

You COULD put a 255 if you really wanted to, but personally I'd stick with 245. You can change profile to something like a 245 40 19 if you wanted, but if you want to keep it legal you'd want to use a calculator to check how much that would increase your overall diameter. You're legally not allowed to increase your diameter by 15mm.Try this calculator: '> http://www.willtheyfit.com/ This has vehicle notification laws, you'd want to read the suspension section as it contains wheels and tyres too.http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb_ncop.aspx '> http://www.infrastructure.gov.au/roads/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/vsb_ncop.aspx Edited 27/08/14 12:14 PM by .Stripes.
