Hey guyz

looking to replace me tyres...

wondering what else is there for around the 200 - 300 per wheel marker ??

Falken FK452s. I swear by them. There has been a few threads on it and I've posted extended comments in them

whats a Falken worth? Im also after a new set. Ive got nexen tyres they seem to be ok for the $220 mark

 

[Troy711]

I paid 500 (or there abouts) off eBay for 2 x 275/30/20s. I was quoted about 400 each from a tyres shop and that was at mates rates

lovely tyre, but I doubt will be in OP's budget unfortunately.

Keep an eye out for a bargain on the 452s. I've seen them around for somewhere about the 350 mark in 245/40/19

actually, just looking at rolling diameters... the 35 profile tyres above would still be legal- just.

the 245/40/R19 gives: sidewall height 97.79mm, overall diameter of 678.43mm, and overall circumference of 2131.3mm

the 235/40/R19 gives: sidewall height 93.98mm, overall diameter of 670.56mm, and overall circumference of 2106.4mm (speedo difference at 100km/h is 1.168% too fast or reads 101km/h at 100... might help you avoid speeding tickets )

provided the load ratings are ok, the 235's would be fine to buy. will even aid in acceleration (very slightly) .
