18Inch Rubber

[Kingo199]

Im currently on the look out for some new tyres for my FG XR6T

I am quite happy with the Dunlop SP3000A 245/40 x 18 that came with it from factory.

I have managed to get 45K out of them and it has not been the easiest of driving. Towing a trailer (about 1.2 Tonne) from townsville to Bris 3 times a year and the usual hard acceleration for a kick every now and then.

I'd like to get some thoughts on whats out there.... been searching threads for info but cannot find to much.

The car wont be doing any track work, just need a quality tyre.

Happy to pay up to $300 a wheel. I know that I can get the Dunlop SP3000A 245/40 x 18 cheap, and am happy to stick with them as they are ok. But it never hurts to ask.

Thanks

Dave

So no one has tried

245x40 R18

Michelin

Bridgestone

BlueStreak - I have on a trailer but they are super cheap - not keen on tyres for car.

BFG goodrich

Pirelli

ETC

I know they all have different wear ratings.

But after personal choice - why - how many K's you got.

Thanks

I've got Blue Streaks on my car. I needed tyres unexpectedly and they were a really cheap option.

They're a lot quieter than the standard Dunlops and they cope reasonably well considering how cheap they are.

Nitto Invo. Got them for $220 each not including fitting. There's a thread on the forum about them.

Kumho Ku31's - $170 a corner. Have a search on the net and see how high people rate them for the price...

Ku31 are the shiz!

Ku31 are the shiz!

Pitty they are rare as rocking horse sh*t at the moment... The cheapest I can find them at now is 200. Going to go the nitto nt05's for $20 more...

[sam_rigger]

200 still is better than 600 on the dunlops as I was quoted recently!
