Best Bang-for-Buck Road Tires?

Postby zephyrus17 » Thu Aug 26, 2010 7:24 pm

What tires are the best bang-for-buck for a 60x6.5 wheel for everyday road use? The current ones on are 195/60R15 Goodyears in the front and Michelins at the back.

Where in Adelaide can I get those along with a wheel alignment for the best price? I think I like those. Housemate also recommends them.

This is getting monotonous. How about you try looking before asking?

Don't stress..
Alot of questions have been answered on here sometimes multiple times.
so a quick search can usually prove very usefull.

don't be sorry. if people stopped asking questions and only searched, no new threads would be started. ;)

See? That's the problem (not tempe tyres), but if people keep making up new threads for every single question instead of a quick search, all you get is a bunch of replies like this one and search becomes tiresome.. :)

I'm with guran on this one (at least until he pulls away on turn 2)..
