Ah i was waiting for you to help out. I can get them for under $200 each,so i think i will go with them.I was told that Dunlop have released another tyre that out performes the 3000a(called maxi something)have you heard of them?

Dunlop Maxx, been out for a long time now. Most of the time you can pick up 3000a's for around $160 in 17's if you know the right people, which is a bargain when you pay that for cheap crap

[adam69]

The best i can do is just under $200.Oh well got to get tyres.

Have you given any though on GT Radials they are good value for your dollar.

The only brand that I want to stick with: Pirelli.....P6000 or Dragon is good
for 17", I think would be around $250 each corner......

[adam69]

Ive have a problem with pirelli at the moment so i will not touch them.

[wrx884]

with pirellis if they rnt made in germany dont touch them other countries cant seem 2 make them the same

I've heard the same said about falkens. The Ziex 312's and 512's are cheap **** that most people hate, but the GRB range are apparently manufactured in germany and aren't too bad. Dunno how true it is, one of the sales boys at work told me and they're paid to be full of ****.

My missus has them on her car and 3 are cracking on the side wall.They are not an old batch and they have only done just over 30,000klms and they wont replace them.Pirelli made in Turkey.

explains y look where they were made lol but wen u say cracking is it only small surface cracks? if so sounds like they were stored outside 4 a while 2 stop that from gettin worse use a tyre sheen 2 keep the rubber from damaging in the sun
