New tyre help

Postby clark » Thu Oct 27, 2016 2:48 pm

Hey,

just got some new 16x8 rims and was wondering if anyone could recommend decent tyres?

I won't be racing or doing anything extreme, just the casual drive from point A to B.

Cheers.

Hankook RS3 225 x 45 or if the budget stretches Yokohama AD08r's
The yokies are just phenomenal. I have them on both my cars and at this point wouldn't even think about buying anything else.

Hankook tyres are on special at Jax until the end of October, get in quick. Buy 4 & get $100 off. I just bought RS3's, 225/45R15.

I have just bought a set of hankook z222's for $142 each. I went in to buy Bridgestone 003's but was talked into the hankooks. I've had 001 and 002's but am wrapt in these for the same price. Quieter and better feel but have yet to test in the wet - maybe tomorrow. I have 195 15's but they also come in 16's. I have resold my old bridgestones each time as they were only half worn. I guess I will wear the hankooks out in the next five years but that's okay
