They aren't bad.
But your cheaper tires tend to sacrifice lifespan for performance.
My last set of Preceda's had almost twice the lifespan of the Bridgestones before them.
Just sayin'...

Re: Regies NB8B (The Tic Tac)
im going to try some Federal 595RS-R's
i was talking to Stu @ spinning wheel they are getting the tyres in for me and going to do a wheel alignment next thrusday.
I went in there looking at getting the PS3's but they arent made in 205 45 16 as yet....
He said the Federals should be sensational for the stuff i do (track days weekend thrashes and two and from work occasionally

Dunlop Star Specs? Much better tyre than the Federals, but they probably cost a lot more too. Worth getting a quote though.

Run a 205/50 instead?
I found the 205/45 too thin, and was gonna get a thicker profile if i did keep the wheels.

still no good with the PS3s though....they havent made any 16" tyres as yet

and possibly by the time these will be worn out, the KU36 might be available in 215 45's

Re: Regies NB8B (The Tic Tac)
15th Aug
headed to a Alfa owners club superspirint today at Wakie.
Was bloody freezing down there and was raining on and off all day, so no dry sessions for anyone
I managed a 1.19.18, that was my fastest on a wet track, not too bad considering the conditions.
ill write something better tomorrrow after ive had some sleep and gone through the pics
