Traction in the wet

[stevenroar]

Hey guys,
Had a spare few hours today so went in to a few shops and the guy from jax said these tyres were the go..

Anyone else had these? Any comments?

And just to add woohoo the triangles are gone!!!

 

[greenacc]

hmmm i hope he didn't just say that because that was all he had in stock ? At least they have some trread depth on them
All i can say is tyres should be circles, not triangles.

I use the atr sports on my vr ss can't complain at all they are only 5000 km's old so time will tell

cheap is fine in my experience but triangles are just a fail. havent had to put tiers on my new ss yet.

I find with triangles keeping them hot is the go. (drive em hard). mine one will be gone soon, threads at about .5mm. I think the fight in the car with the missues killed them:idea:

I Had achillies ATR sports on mine. SSV, 245/35/20 and 275/30/20.

If you are going to do nothing other than drive sensibly on the street, they'll be fine. Anything more and you will quickly find they leave a bit to be desired. Falken 452's FTW.

Anyone tried these? ETyreStore - Welcome To The Revolution - ETyreStore.com.au - Home

Just as bad as triangles? Haha

Bridgestone Potenza's......... cost a fortune but damn good! $1600-2000 for 4 tyres....

I got RunFlatTechnology ones on my car..... came with it (ex-cop car). Damn good in the rain....... My SS drives virtually the same in the rain as the dry, virtually no slipping.....

Gemstone, Ling Lang and Triangles, avoid completely

ive got a set of 235/45/17 gemstones on the vs, they grip well both wet and dry, alot better than the bald savas, and i run maddison 215/65/14 (never heard of them before) on my old girl, dry they're fine but damn do they slide in the wet, they were cheap when needed, even cut costs by fitting them myself, $120 all up, and they last, I just adjust my driving in the wet, so it don't slide or spin.
But value for money, you can't go past the khumos bridgestones firestone and toyo, for high profile stuff anyway. Bridgestone eager sf340s are the pick but you'll be lucky to find them I think they're discontinued.
