I just put Dunlop Sport 3000a's on last Tuesday. Really good in both the dry and the wet. Go see Beurepairs in Melville ask for Hamish and tell him Troy sent you.

Only $250 a corner!

ye I want good tyres.......

from what ive been hearing from tyre people and others the S-Drives or the Re001 Adrenalines seem to be the go - or if you want supa quiet go the V550 db's by Yoko sound like a real good performance/extremely low noise!

anyone have some thoughts regarding directional and non-directional?

Anyone here bought some Falken RT615 recently? Where did you buy it from and how much?

Im looking at 225/45/17/94W.

There was a group buy on Rexnet for those size RT615s for $240 each plus $200 for freight for 4 tyres. So that's $1160 landed. Add another $40 for fitting and thats a nice $1200 round figure landed and fitted. I'd be willing to pay a little extra to buy from a local dealer.

I can NOT find a local supplier of Falken. Seems Tempe are the way to go.

Kumho Ecsta ASX KU19.

I find them grippy, and above all, quiet. I paid under $250 a corner for mine.

No but I did look into them, they certainly appear pretty hardcore for a street legal tyre!! I ended up going with Hankook R-S2's (same size) but they were a bit dearer @ $300 a corner.

For the price they appear a good deal and Falken have a pretty good name, I'd just be worried about the tread life if anything.

GCT.
They look pretty sweet but no word on their performance yet from this Lib owner.
