More advice needed-
Suzi needs new tyres and I have no idea which ones to buy :oops:
Need them to be good for everyday driving & be forgiving enough to hold us onto the corners (even tho I think we go round em slower than most of you guys but i'm gettin better)and in the rain cos I sorta drive the same wet or dry..and I suppose road noise is a consideration too? Oh yeah did I mention I want them to look good too?

I dont want to pay mega $ but I dont want to skimp either so budget is probably around max of $200ish - $250ish ea but obviously if I can get something just as suitable for less the financial controller would be happy.

Am I heading in the right direction considering Preceda 2's and what other options do we have?.

I’m still happy with my Toyo T1-Rs.

Craig just got some, i’d be interested to hear his feedback.

If you have not fitted T1R's by now, then you won't know what you are missing!!!

If you have, well, you should have experienced some \"Excellent rubber\"

To put it bluntly, T1R's grip like s*it to a blanket. How's your blanket?????????????????

This thread is proving to be both informative and interesting. I just bought a set of 15s and in need of some rubber now.

How is the general consensus on Bridgestone G3's?

Thanks 8)
