Thanks!

So you guys reckon it's definitely worth going through them? I'm tossing up between Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position (Ultra High Performance All-Season) 235/35R19 $219 each OR
Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season (Ultra High Performance All-Season) Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season (Ultra High Performance All-Season) 235/35ZR19 $175 each (on special)

Anyone had these? I want good grip in the wet and dry just for street use...

Other members have said $300 for 4 tyres, I emailed tirerack myself and they said $200-$300. For 2 tyres I would expect anywhere between $100-200 for shipping.

Gday all, I am also looking at getting some new shoes for the STI. 225/45/17 is what I am chasing for the standard STI rims. Looks like "Tire Rack" are the guys to go to so what are you opinions on the following? I want something that is gonna hold up well in dry and wet but still want a moderate distance out of them.

Thanks all

RE-11's will be super sticky, but wear quick. RE-001's would be a better option for a daily.

I just recently bought 18"Pirelli P-Zero Nero tyres for the Lib from St George Tyres in Sydney. Paid $1120 landed at my door in 3 days. Suggest you try them first for a price. [url]http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au/tyres.htm[/url]
