Need some advice. Have done the ring around Ozzy Park retailers and have got a few options for 205/50 R16's 87V tyres for the front of the Rex.

Which would you guys be getting out of this lot. All prices balanced and fitted per corner. Also are there any other tyres up to $250 that I should be looking at?

Sumitomo HTRZ2 - $145

Hankook Ventus K102 - $145 (on special)

Hankook Ventus K104 - $????

Yokohama S306 - $199

Bridgestone G3 - $215

Bridgestone GR50 - $150

Toyo T1R - $244

Yokohama AC01 - $229

Kumho KU31 - $199

Leaning towards the Toyo's

Any help appreicated, Cheers

I run Firestone Firehawk Wide Ovals. I find them very reliable and low noise. I got mine for $195 a corner with RAC discount (normally $202/corner i think?). But these are for 17's so most definitely cheaper for 16's.

Thanks Pettata, I saw in your thread earlier that you were happy with the Wide ovals. I am actually running Firehawk SZ50's on the back so I might give the Ovals a look as well. Where did you get the wide ovals from again?

i swear by Hankook K104's.
my housemate has them on his rex, and i run them on my 300rwhp skyline and i have to push it *hard* to loose traction.

Got them from bridgestone in morley

You should be replacing the rears as well. Unless a new centre diff is on the shopping list as well!

the bridgestone G3's are really good value for money good grip levels wet and dry,
quiet and a decent life. Also look at the pirelli P6000 can be a bit pricey but they are great performers

stay away from cheap tyres!!

Goodyear Eagle F-1's are good.

I've got Bridgestone Potenzas on mine which were on the wheels when I bought them second hand from Jap Wholesale Importers, I think they must be the std WRX tyre over there, they are wearing pretty good n stick like shit to a blanket wet or dry,I know he has heaps up there so if you want to save some cash n try them it might be worth giving him a call on 0418559267 Darren.
