- VF SV6 Wagon
Hi All,
I fear being that annoying bloke who asks the repetitive question, but I have done a few searches and not come up with anything specific enough. Feel free to link me to threads, or ignore...
I've been in ute and 4wd land for a long time so have lost touch with what's OK for my newly purchased VF SV6. It has BFG 245 45 zr 18's on it now, almost done.
I live regionally, little to no driving in traffic. I'm no p-plate hoon, but I do enjoy driving hard on winding roads (have to do Gloucester-walcha quite often if anyone knows it...). I'm after something quiet, with very good performance, can cope with the odd bit of dirt road, wear has to be OK but not as high of a concern as other factors.
I've had local shops recommend
> Michelin pilot sport ($260)
> Goodyear eagle f1 ($275)
> Vittora sport life ($156)
> Maxxis hp5 ($256)
I'm sure there's plenty of other options. Basically I don't trust tyre shops to suggest anything beyond what they have on hand. Understandable. I'm after recommendations from people who've driven something for a decent distance (10k km plus?), not just, 'my mate has had these for a week and love's em', etc etc.
Anyrate, hope I haven't missed the 'one-stop tyre thread', cheers for any replies.
