arronm Dropping a turd Gold Donating Members 9,520 Member For: 17y 6m 16d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 24/04/11 03:17 AM Share Posted 24/04/11 03:17 AM How would the Achilles compare to the nexons? Im thinking of buying some tyres off ebay. Any one done this before? I found fedderal 595 245/40 for about 180 delivered each. That seems pretty cheap. Any opinions on fedderal?Remember it will cost $20 each for fitting and balancing. What price for the achilles at tech9. Maybe just go the nexen. I think the 595 are good. It doesnt matter what tyre I have on they last less than 5000ks 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74453-nexen-n6000/page/2/#findComment-1099337 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem like a good tyre, Just haven't worn evenly. There directional tyres so I guess I will have to have a look see if I can get away with getting 2 for now. The only reason I consider the Federals is cause there so expensive in shops so for the same price as buying new nexons I could have better tyres buying from ebay. The plan is I just need decent enough grip for now with the car being stock. In about 6 months time if all goes to plan im getting a tune and a few more mods so then I will invest in some good wide tyres. Thinking 275's will be enough.

I bought 4 x 275/30/20 achilles for $880 delivered to my door. Dont forget you need min 9.5 inch rim for a 275 Edited 24/04/11 04:14 AM by arronm Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/74453-nexen-n6000/page/2/#findComment-1099355 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 25/04/11 05:07 AM Share Posted 25/04/11 05:07 AM Yes 93. I had the 5000's on and they got pretty noisy when half way worn. KU31's are down to the depth indicator and still sound the same.

I like the look of the federals only thing is that photo makes them look like they have nothing on the side of the tyres.
