Fg Offsets And Tyre Questions

[Puffwagon]

I'm keen to try the nankang ar1. I think they're about $200 each for a 255x17.

255/40/17 are a pricey tyre hey.

I had ventus k117s 255s on my xr rims and they cost 370 or something..... good tyres but

I won't run an atr2 on the front, their wet weather performance is pretty sh*t.

Rear end boogie I'm pretty comfortable with but understeer...nah

I was thinking of the similar tread pattern, also thought the atr2 was pretty good for wet driving?.

Not in my experience, you ever run them?

This is my 3rd set (ok 1st was atr1) on the rear, wet=fun

Had 1 set on the front, wet=abysmal 

[BAXRTUTE]

Nah I havent, mate has em on his VE clubby and says they are alright, but he only ever buys cheap tyres so probs wouldnt know what a good tyre is like tbh.

ATR2 pretty good in the dry but not so good in the wet. But for the price they can't be beat and they last a long long time before they either wear or start to fall apart.

 

I'm running Michelin Pilot Sport 4 on the front and Achilles ATR2 on the rear. Only because PS4 rears are $390ea compared to $145ea for the ATR2.

 

The Pilot Sports are an awesome tyre, I had them on my previous wheels.

Mine aren't unfortunately, have to check but these are at less than 10K I'm pretty sure

They look pretty stuffed for how much tread they still have on them.
