25/06/14 11:52 PM25/06/14 11:52 PM #12 245 or 255 if possible/19s (standard lux pack rims) just for the rears. Or is it advisable to get new shoes on all 4? The fronts are new that's all.
26/06/14 12:20 AM26/06/14 12:20 AM #13 Call taleb and get a couple of Invo. 245 or 255. Its a big carcass and you have an 8, what about 245 40 19 from taleb $209 each. They do a 255/35 and a 255/40. Maybe the 255/40 but its a squeeze on an 8.Seeing as its tyre change time, why dont you get new rims and go 275/285 on the rear. Edited 26/06/14 12:22 AM26/06/14 12:22 AM by arronm
26/06/14 01:15 AM26/06/14 01:15 AM #14 Author Depending on size ebay has INVO for as little as $200 each. What size do you need. We get ours from Taleb Tyres 245 40 R18Ye Taleb quoted me the Achilles, The KU31 are from tempe...both @ $150 a pop.So from my limited undertsanding of tyres the Achilles are a softer compound than the KU31 so should wear quicker. Estimated K's on Achilles?
26/06/14 01:39 AM26/06/14 01:39 AM #15 I got 20000k on my old Achilles and so far the invos have done 7k and are farked. getting Achilles next again good tyre for cheap.
26/06/14 01:40 AM26/06/14 01:40 AM #16 How long is a piece of string. Depends on how you drive. Grandma will get 40K. I may get 1KTyres are a consumable and need to be consumed. Edited 26/06/14 01:51 AM26/06/14 01:51 AM by arronm
26/06/14 01:42 AM26/06/14 01:42 AM #17 The new ATR 2 will not last as long as the ATR 1. ATR 1 were sh-t, that had a bad problem with sidewall crackingMaybe just go the ATR2. Edited 26/06/14 01:45 AM26/06/14 01:45 AM by arronm
26/06/14 02:12 AM26/06/14 02:12 AM #18 Just my 2c I've owned expensive tyres on my turbo (I had nt05s) and they are an awesome Tyre but I hated driving the thing when it's on daily duty. It feels like a waste. I go cheap now and I got 20000km out of my last seat of rears (and they went through hell). When these tyres are gone I'll be selling my rims and stepping down to 19s with Achilles atrs. My step dad has a set on his audi and they drive very well
26/06/14 02:17 AM26/06/14 02:17 AM #19 2c = 1 wheel.LHS= 60k. RHS=5k. Edited 26/06/14 02:19 AM26/06/14 02:19 AM by arronm
