furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 4m 8d Posted 04/03/16 05:27 AM Share Posted 04/03/16 05:27 AM anyone running higher-than-stock profile tyres? I've been trying to find 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 high performance tyres at a decent price and it's getting frustrating. I ordered a set of Continental ExtremeContact from tyresales for $1199, then they tell me the manufacture date is too old (2012) so they want to cancel my order. I can still get them if I really want but not sure. It will cost me at least $500 more to get a set of equivalent tyres locally (Bridgestone S001 or Conti 5P), or I can go for a higher profile (245/40 and 275/35) in an RE003 or similar for about $300 more. I know it will screw up my speedo a bit but my car is lowered on shockworks (355mm hub to guard) and I don't want any fitment issues. Looking online the sidewall size difference seems to be pretty significant... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 4m 8d Posted 04/03/16 07:40 AM Share Posted 04/03/16 07:40 AM thanks, I did consider NT05s even though I read they're pretty noisy, but I already have Invos which I got from Taleb and they have been poor, all 4 tyres were out of round so they vibrate when cold. The rears are worn through but even though the fronts are still fine I'm replacing them. I use Nitto NT01s on my track wheels and they are fine, but gonna try one of the more common brands for my next set of street tyres. Might have to try my luck with the 4 year old Contis.

Rears would be $600-700 and fronts maybe $500-600...depending how picky you wanna be. I haven't looked at 19s but shouldn't be too much more than 18s.

furiousgibbon Member 86 Member For: 17y 4m 8d Posted 05/03/16 06:14 AM Share Posted 05/03/16 06:14 AM I have yep, most of the ebay listings are from places like st george, tempe etc. It's cheaper just calling them direct as they don't cop the ebay fees. Pretty sure they only deal in grey imports though which is how they get their prices so low. I have a suspicion the ExtremeContact that I'd tried purchasing through tyresales are grey imports, which explains why they're old, cheap and aren't listed on the Australian Continental site. I think I'll either just go another couple of Invos for the rear (not keen on mixing tyre types) or cough up for a set of ContiSportContact 5P. Not being able to rotate is a big drawback of staggered fitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like factory seconds sh*t or something? Smart call on the calling them first....never even thought about the fees lol I also found that kmart tyre and auto will match ebay prices....I didnt even have to prove it...I just said prices and he said I'll check. Obviously can only get whatever brands their distributors have I.e. the east perth place couldnt do invos or Bridestone re002. And yeh I bought a second set of rims just to run same widths again. But since im not dailying my car anymore; I can live with replacing the rears twice or three times as often as fronts Good luck dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermilioN Member 6 Member For: 12y 2d Posted 30/04/16 03:19 AM Share Posted 30/04/16 03:19 AM Hey, I was wondering how 18x9.5 +15 would go all round on an fg ute? Poke in the front? To skinny on the back? Stock suspension, would still like to be able to tow sh*t. Tyres would probably be 245/35. Other option for the back would be 18x10 +38 but would that still have the same dish size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
