IMHO that's pushing the boundries of the wheel to control the tyre contact patch. Safer to do a ring around to some tyre places and get their opinion.

Abit exxy 119 per and including wheel alignment 500 all up @ Jax Southport... i need wheel alignment coz the handling dont feel right after i blew my steel rims thanks to a rather deep pot hole...

Size is 195/55R15... Jax said a 185/60 a Michelin will set me back 180 plus... and a Nexus is 150 per

My other friend told me that Swift's Bridgestone Potenza (quoted at Jaz Springwood @ $128 per) is better than my Falken ZE329 in terms of handling but I told him that my treadwear is 480 where as the Potenza is 140... so should last me a good while since I do a lot of highway driving at the moment...

FYI treadwear the higher the number the better...

ITs true...

Hey 180 is cheap compare to dealer quoted 200 plus for Dunlops...

I wanna get some rims in the near future... but not sure if i'm going to change cars... lol

Anyway in the process of sound deaden my car now... going to do the door trims 1st tomorrow and hope can find time for the whole doors tomorrow...

Driving on the highway is bloody noisy in the Yaris...

[Masteraal]

200?! for the SP2030s?

are they nuts? thats performance tyre pricing!

i wanted to get C Drives for 149 a corner and i thought that was exp!

[Speedz]

They said that is an imported tyre and not widely used hence the pricing... oh well i'm happy with what i got now...
