the precedas were great! i took it up to reefton spur last w/end and boy they are good. it stuck pretty well, and only really kinda losing it when i was going around corners and there were few bumps in the road. scary! but maybe i could do with tein flex coilovers. no $$$ unfortunately.

i wouldnt mind trying some other rubber. any good ones for NC? i know.. its too new for ppl to start replacing it...

I was quoted $233 for the Precedas in 205/45/16 today (Bob J in Penrith). Load rateing is 87V.
Nobody seems to have Neros anymore... they just try and sell you the Dragons, which nobody really knows anything about at first, then once you look at the Michelins they declare the Pirellis as lame by comparison. :roll: I hate salesmen! :evil: (with apologies to all the salespeople reading! :wink: )

Oh, and while I was at it today, I discovered that Gordon Leven will no longer buff used tyres :evil: There goes the Nero's second life at Wakefield :x
