Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 6m 24d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 14/04/07 11:09 AM Share Posted 14/04/07 11:09 AM Guys,Just bought myself a T3 and need some new tyres. Did a search but there doesnt seem to be any current thread on choice of 18's.So what have people been finding is a good compromise between handling / wear / road noise vs Cost? Dude at the tyre shop suggested Toyo's, reckons they are a good tyre for the money at $345/corner, didnt get the model number though So whats good these days?Cheers Mondie Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34174-tyre-choice-18s/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find them the Maxxis ZR1's are particularly good for the price. But don't confuse them with the more common VR1's, they're not as high a performance tyre.Big AL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/34174-tyre-choice-18s/#findComment-521439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
