jack93 New Member 16 Member For: 11y 30d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 02/11/15 04:04 PM Share Posted 02/11/15 04:04 PM (edited) Hey guys, looking around for some new rubber for the car, still running the stock 19" wheels, just after some advice.Tossing up between Nitto 245/35/19 Invo's at $261 a corner, and Michelin Pilot Super Sports at $325. Only planning on changing the rears at the moment, still have Nexxen N6000's on all 4's at the moment and they're holding on good but the rears will start baiting the cops soon.Daily use, track day once in a blue moon, looking for decent wear and naturally prefer closer to 250-300 a corner.Open to ideas/input - Cheers in advance,Jack.

On special $250 for 245/40/18 a few months ago. Holding the power down quite well I have to say especially given a 320 treadwear rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP....I think Marco said he got his invos from Continental Tyre shop in Malaga for around the $260 each mark? The problem with those tyres is you wont get more than 10k kms on the rear. I'm pretty happy with my Goodyear Eagle F1 Asmmetric 2's.....but they aren't the grippiest but I did get like 30,000kms+ on the rears last time (stock tune).I want to try Conti Sport Contact 5's next Good luck deciding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 16y 4m 25d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 03/11/15 01:26 PM Share Posted 03/11/15 01:26 PM Yeah I'm still using the front Invos (never rotated) I bought in late March for Racewars this year, I do about 30,000km a year and love flogging it around corners and braking hard. I run them at 40PSI. I still have tread on the outer shoulders. Inners are wearing a bit faster though, so I'm told. But it was said that's made worse thanks to my cornering behaviour.Rears were replaced a couple months ago now as they were past the indicators.

But I too wear the insides out significantly faster lol roundabout FTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
