Hey Tino, you had dramas with MMS as well?

I really don't give a fuck who people go to ....MMS, RMS, Tenagah, RT, X Speed, Wheels World or whoever. I know you have issues with MMS but that's your business mate, so don't take it out on me when I'm trying to help someone on the forum.

This will be my last reply on this topic and i apologise to dave for marring his thread. Nauli you have countlessly recommended this workshop purposely or not, and i felt that there was no need for it in this occassion.

You have your opinion and i have mine so well leave it at that. If there is a next time ill pm in the future.

agentorange.. Yes i have issues with them but at this stage im not going to broadcast them through this medium..

As i have previously posted.....

I have just put a Set of Falken RT615's 225/40R18 on my ride. Grippy as, 200 tread wear rating and pretty quiet for an agressive semi R-spec tyre. Don't buy locally. I rang Tempe and got them for $345 each delivered to Perth, cheapest in Australia. They were here in 3 days. Pretty happy about that.

Do yourself a favour and get these if you have previously been running on the Bridgestones RE070 or SO3's

For a good review read this:

I'm very happy with mine, they seem quieter than my Bridgestone SO3's.
PS. I have some SO3's sitting here.

TRAINREX: Please let it go mate. Before you get my recommendation as well which you won't like.

The Hankook RS-2's rock. I am running 235/40/18's on the EVO and they are tops. Done some hard runs through the hills with them and none of the STI's could keep up... But maybe thats not the tyres.. JKs...

But seriously, am very impressed with them and got them for $250 a corner from Midvale Discount Tyres. Hard to beat for that price for performance 18's IMHO.

Sidewall is probably not as stiff as a bridgie as sidewall stiffness is legendary on bridgies, but run a little more pressure and they should be sweet.

If you are after a good performance street tyre that might tolerate the odd fun day at the track, I reckon they are worth a shot.

In no way am I supported by or endorsing any business in this post!!

Yup!! Probably not quite wide enough for my 9" rims but I quite like the wide rim look with the tyres tapering in. Just not any protection for the lip of the rim.
