Don't drive the car hard or have huge power so my experiance may differ to those running big numbers.Current 19" OEM Dunlops are pretty noisy IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 400rwkw I spray most tyres all over the road anyrate. Off topic but Im currently considering federal 595 evo's vs invo's in terms of value for money in 275's to hold 300rwkw. Thoughts?Well I have had the ATR Sport 2 (245/35R19) on the rears only for two weeks and I have been very happy.I know that they are not the dunlop sport maxx, but at least with the ATR Sport 2 I get good feedback and I know when they are going to let go and start skidding.I was out on Monday evening and I wanted to test the launch control in the rain and I was bloody impressed.The ATR Sports did not let go at all, only in third did they start to let go a tad.They seem to be a bit quieter than the dunlop sports that I still have on the fronts.The only issue I have with the ATR sports is that when I give the car stick going around a corner, they let go a lot sooner than the dunlops did and that is quite scary when you not expecting it.I got mine for $169 fitted from tyre power in midland.Yea they are fairly quiet and the wet isn't too bad. Not sure how you only started spinning in 3rd? Most start to finally hook up in thirdAs for losing grip in corners well my 265 dunlop sport max gt's which are over $500 a pop do that! I don't rate them at all unless they have plenty of heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can end up a bit TOO fun though!PS Arron no I use them for my ride on mower, hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just waiting on them to tell me how old the tyres are before they order them in...Honourable mention to ITP tyres as well for the 245s245 40 18 148.50inc GST but I don't think that's fitted and balanced. Were about $200 for the 255s. Edited 18/06/14 05:50 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current "nankangs" are awful, to the point where I won't let me wife drive my car in the wet cos it goes sideways at ANY amount of throttle around a corner :/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But mine can!#liquidhorsepower 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnz Member 3,047 Member For: 10y 5m 8d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 18/06/14 07:01 AM Share Posted 18/06/14 07:01 AM (edited) Nexen N6000's have got to be some of the best value for money tyres going. 160 each fitted for 19x245x35s. Ive had 2 sets of rears and 1 set of fronts. Grip is excellent for 2/3 of their life then they turn to liquidhorsepower for the rest as described above.Which is fine by me.
