Thanks in advance! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95875-xr6-turbo-ute-tyre-recommendations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car smashes tyres the way I drive so don’t see the point in running $300 tyres on the rear.. The front is where you spend the dollars to keep the nose gripped up...

The higher end stuff like Conti Sport6, Pirelli or Pilot Supersport that I use are all over 500. All the grip in the world at the front wont help if the rear comes around.

Much better than factory tyres and certainly better than the Falkens I was running on my last ute. 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/95875-xr6-turbo-ute-tyre-recommendations/#findComment-1697798 Share on other sites More sharing options...
