What tyres for $600?

Postby buttmonkey » Sun Oct 08, 2006 5:42 pm

What tyres should I get for my NA6?

Stock suspension, standard wheels, budget of $600 (total)

Can any of the Melbourne guys recommend where to buy them from?

cheers,

matt

You should be able to get excellent tyres for the standard wheels with that budget.

Yokohama C-drives.... for the stock 185/60 (wateva it is) i think its $120 each. I run 195/60 R14 and they are $135ea.

Excellent in the dry and just as good in the wet!
Just run em in for 600km before getting excited.
