$130 each plus $2.50 tyre disposal fee.

That's fitted, balanced and aligned.

I will take along the report that The Mag Wheel Centre gave me after they aligned them, as they appear to be just right for what driving I do.

Changed the Eibachs and Bilsteins to Kings and Konis since then, but guess that should not affect things?

Just fitted, and rain bucketing down!

Excellent service.

Thanks for the advice, guys.

Excellent, and better than the A539s in the wet.

They seem a little gripper in the dry, as well.

(BTW, I stuffed up on the price - the wheel alignment was $60).

BTW, I took in my wheel alignment report from when I had them done last, and they did them exactly as I asked, so that's a thumbs-up for Bob Jane.

Planning to get some GIII's within 2 weeks. I have noticed some used a 185/60/14 (std) and some use the wider 195. Rolling diameter is slightly larger for the 195. What's some of your comments on going wider? Any difference in appearance (and not look like a 4WD tyre!)?

185/60x14 is a better fit and give better response and turn-in. The 195s get a bit rolly.
