Need new tyres for my new wheels

Postby mxfive95 » Wed Jul 28, 2010 10:58 pm

Hi all.

I should get my new wheels in the next week and need some good quality rubber, they're 15 by 6.5 so i either 205/50r15 or 195/50r15 and im keen on the Michelin PS3's, Dunlop star specs or kuhmo 36's in that order.

These will be used as daily drives, spirited weekends and on the track when its raining (already have semi's)

I guess what im asking is which would suit my needs best with a budget of $600-$800? should i get 205's or 195's? and where in melb can you recommend i get them (obviously the cheaper the better)?

Im hoping to have them fitted by sat 7th august for winton incase it rains allday like at phillip island lol :lol:

Thanks, Craig.

Craig,

If you're interested in the Dunlops, Stuckeys (the Dunlop race tyre distributor) offer discounts to MX-5 Club owners, there's an ad in the club magazine. I think they're located in Brunswick.

You must be getting excited about the wheels arriving !!
