[undersuspicion]

falken do a good tyre roughly about $250 each from memory. Kumho arent bad either.

Don't know if TOYO do a tyre in that size, but my Toyo TEO PLUS have worn really well.

[ShadowMyst86]

Toyo Proxes 4. Them and RDA brakes saved the fat moll who ran in front of me today.

[Verynice]

yeah TOYOs

Proxes 4 for more grip

Teo Plus for comfort and road noise

I have proxes 4 on mine too. Just a little little bit noisier than Teo Plus

[ShadowMyst86]

The Proxes 4's in 19" were $250-260 when I got mine. For 18's I think they were $220-$240. Much better than the Pirelli and Michelin's which were quoted at $400+.

What sort of milage/wear have you got from your Toyo's so far. I need a set of new 215/60R16's soon, and was thinking about the TEO's

kumhos ku31's re fn awesome... my tyre by choice for both road and the strip... blown and NA...


nangkangs get slippery when worn, i really love my kumhos and wont change brand ever again

[old mate]

nexen n7000 arent too bad. last for ages and grip pretty good.

Sorry Wortus for the abrupt reply above, but I just had to change my radiator.....
Like stated, Nov 07, not sure how many k's, the buggers never noted the milage on the docket, but I average 20,000 k's annually, so probably had 60,000 out of them, with another 10-20,000 k's left. I have found them to be the best wearing tyre I've had. Once had Good Year and I reckon they call em good year, cos if you're lucky you may get a "good year" out of them and then they're stuffed!

I've got a set of marangoni tyres on my wagon now for the past 20000kms & there fantastic. Silent, great grip in the wet, hardwearing, don't cost the earth but not all stores hold stock. Speak to Jared in the sponsors section of the forums for more info, he's great to deal with.

G'day Glenny, and G'day to all.... new here.

As mentioned Toyo make a good honest tyre, you won’t be disappointed with them, it’s quite common to get 60k+ out of a set TEO Plus.
Another good tyre that has been getting great reviews is the Yokohama A-Drive R1, which is their budget performance tyre and has been pulling some high mileages.
A mate has been running tyres called Zetum Sport on his XR6, at first I thought he had lost the plot, but... they’re pretty good.
Tyre wear seems good so far (drives rural) and they do all the nice things well in all the bad conditions. They’re made by Kumho (KU37?) and he got them at Bob Jane.

I saw your post about the Accelera tyres
If there is any advice anyone can give regarding tyres, steer clear of the unknown brands (especially coming out of Asia), they’re not worth the risk.

I've been using Nankangs and find them to be great. Last long enough and heaps of grip, especially in the wet... BUT.... there's heaps of road noise. Would love to reduce the road noise! I think I'll take some of the suggestions in this thread into account the next time I replace my tyres.

I have continental contisport 2's 20" on my SS.. but they were $400 a tyre ;x awesome tyres if you can afford.
