Do it, you will not regret the outlay. Harrop also have other kits availible depending on your budget.

What are 'HSV tyres'?

Bridgestone Potenza. 245/40 R19. 98W. $400 each on special about 8 months ago.

And Just had a quick blat through the Hills, as the weather had cleared up. They work well. Very well. Stopped / slowed beautifully everytime, no evidence of fade, despite 45 mins of at least moderate - and at times - Heavy / Max braking. Well worth every cent

they are the OE tyres that are fitted to the commy mate RE050 potenza's but $400 is a good price for them though.

Ah I see. I stand corrected.

 

[jasonsv6]

they are good tyres. they normaly go from somethig like $700

I didnt know they were normally that dear. I didnt actually pay for the ones I have now - The wheels on my old VX SS got stolen (the stock 17"s, they were stacked in the garage), got a cheque for $1630 from the insurance company. No joke about a week later I discover I need new tyres for the VE. Found them on sale $400 each.

That's the exact reason why you don't find many VEs running around on Bridgestones after a tyre change! VERY pricey and it is possible to do slightly better for less money.

Eventually the tyres will need replacing again, what would you guys reccommend? What has worked well fro you in the past?

Falken FK452s get a great wrap - especially considering the price. They'll be my next set (sometime in the next few weeks). Otherwise Michelin PilotSports are excellent. Continentals are great too - if you can find them. Not cheap though.
