235/40R18, 225/40R18* BCT New Semi Slick Style Tread | eBay

let me know if you think they'l be exrtremely crappy tyres.

[m1lky]

They'll be rubbish. Bct's are down there with triangle, linglong and wanli

[MikeCuzzy]

About as good as you'd expect from a random Chinese tyre bought off ebay. Seriously, when it comes to tyres, you've got 6 inches of rubber between you and your family/friends. It's that last thing you should cheap out on.

Bloody hell, anything even remotely as bad as triangle will make your skin crawl.

I bought some of these on 17" a few years ago and they are absolute garbage. They're noisey, have no grip and shake like a mofo after a couple of thousand km.

Believe it or not wanlis are worse than triangles. I agree with the others good tyres are well worthwhile.

Shop around. I found prices varied all over the place. I ended up getting mine from Tony's tyre service. (don't know of you have them in Aussie)

I got 235/40/18 re002 potenzas for 280nzd each. Probably not far off 200aud. Firestone direct had them for 450 nzd each.

Look for the well established brands: Bridgestone, good year, Yokohama, Pirelli, gt radial etc. 18s are coming down in price. I wouldn't buy dunlops though. Every set I've known have experienced uneven wear and lots have scalloped.

I picked up a set of Continental ContiProContact in 235/40/18 back in October for $188 each. Really happy with them.

[m1lky]

Damn that's cheap.

I hate how we get ripped off in nz

BCT?


Bloody Crap Tyre??????


You can pickup Nankang's for $140ish/tyre. Despite all the haters, they're a decent tyre for what you pay.
