Tyre replacement choice

[Robdre]

Hi there. Has anyone replace there tyres on the RS AWD. I need a new set of 245/45/18 and was curious as to what others have replace the original Conti tyres with.
PS4S are out of my price range though.

why not just PS4, cheaper and still very decent.

Anyone else tried some thing different and found them to be suitable?

I just put a set of Pirelli Dragon Sports on my Calais V (Noting these are 245/35R20) - pretty happy with them so far

I wouldnt know if theyre good or not. Theyre better than the factory tyres, much quieter.
They werent cheap, blew me over when they wanted $1484 after fitting them

Goodyear have a reputation in the tyre trade of, if they save you once a year, it's a miracle...

They weren't much good 20 years ago and have gotten worse since then

I have replaced my ZB 2L Calais 245/45/18 from ContiContact5s to Michelin Pilot Sport 4 after 61k mileage New tyres are noisier when travelling below 80 kmh. Other than that, Michelin seems to grip better when cornering and especially at high speeds. Got the PS4 from Tyroola - btw, they are China made.

Thanks for your feedback on the PS4's mate and all the best with getting your engine issue sorted out.

I just went on a massive hunt to try and find some tires for my VXR in Perth.

Tried to get the same Michelin Pilot Super Sport that came from the factory and there is none in stock anywhere.

Tried the Pilot Sport 4S... only answer I could get was an ETA of March-ish, but even then Michelin were unconfident on that.

Same drama with Pirelli P-Zero, Conti SC6, etc. no one has a 245/35 20 in WA and delivery was an expensive and slow process.

Eventually just decided to go with the Pirelli Dragon Sport which is significantly cheaper, but I guess we will see how much worse they perform.
