Hello all, I'm in the market for some new rubber. I currently have Yokohamas A539's. I have been impressed with how quiet they are. But like most things, they aren't being made anymore. So I have to decide on something else, and when it comes to tyres I find it pretty hard deciphering
all the sales mombo because they all recon they are the best. So was just wanting to hear some of your experiences. Cheers

i run potenzas 235 17R 40s pretty happy with them, they look good on the rim, but at around 3 hundy a pop, not cheap at all.

Thanks, Are they any good? Do they hang on in the wet. How long have you had them?

I had a set on when i bought the car a year ago, just bought a new set due to bad camber on my car....but they are known for their excellent wet weather handling

Bought a set of Kumho KH15 for the VS late last year. Excellent tyres. Very quiet and very good in the wet. Only $92 each but that was for 15". They are available in 16's as well. If you find a tyre you like then it pays to shop around. I called 4 different Tyrepower's here in sydney and got 4 different prices ranging from $92 up to $114 each!
