Especially if you have 19 inch rims on the thing! I'd think $300 a tyre as a starting point if you want to put down all the power all the time in the dry. With 400rwkw... probably think $400+ per tyre? They would be low life sticky ones as well, so probably 10-15 thousand km life? Others with 400+ range power might be able to comment more accurately. All I know is that even on my car, from standstill the top of first is a write off and second is as well if you keep the boot in, on 17" KU31's ($175ea fitted/balanced the cheapest I've seen). Fun in a way but not practical. Gotta learn the feeling of it breaking away on you so you can reign it in. In the wet it's just satanic, forget about it! Driving miss daisy.

My last set cost me $2700 for four and I have just shy of 360kw, You can plant it and it just hooks up and goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those seem to be one of the best rated tyres that are street legal.Quick Google says "235/45/17 for $240 each (RRP $300)" and $539.99 canadian dollars for 265/30/19.So there's 2 grand to shod all 4 corners in top 19" rubber, which will last possibly 5000km if driven hard. Or a grand in my stock 17 inch size and I'd wear em out in 10 weeks of daily driving! And then you have to consider this:I have experience of both AO48 and R888 tyres, both are very much track/race biased. ( road legal slick compound tyres need to be up to temperature before they offer anyware near best grip)During the winter it would take insane levels of hooning on the public highway to achieve this, the rest of the time you are sliding and slithering all over the place, total waste of time and rubber.In my opinion winter=goodyear F1s or similer trackdays/summer hooning=AO48s 1st R888's cheaper but 2ndhttp://www.mmsport.com.au/products/15/Proxes-R888 say $3115.20 for the 265/30/19 R888's - fark.
