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

I have 4x maxxis MA-V1's on now. 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.

Dam haha. What ever you do for work get me a job haha Look forward to seeing your f6 on a cruise if you go to many events in W.A?

Anything you get will be better than the MA-V1 - they feather like crazy. 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

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/4x-245-40-18-FEDERAL-595-TYRES-FIT-HOLDEN-FORD-FALCON-/280663608737?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4158dacda1

Thoughts?

I think you need a load rating of at least 93 for these cars,in case you have a stack for insurance sake..

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.

So if I got those Kumos I wouldn't be covered by insurance cause there only 92?

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.

Who told you that ??

Kumho KU31 Ecsta SPT. 275 x ZR19 x 30 96Y.

Kumho KU31 Ecsta SPT. 245 x ZR19 x 35 93Y

That's what is written on the side of mine. Sa fact.

Well if I get these ones off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Brand-New-Kumho-Ecsta-KU31-245-35-R18-92Y-Tyre-/290528509772?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43a4d93f4c

There only a Load Rating: 92 (630kg/tyre)

Doesn't it have to be 93 or more?
