Re: Tyre options
tyre size would help as well...
for that much you aint looking for anything decent.
should never go cheap on tyres.
its what holds your car on the road

Re: Tyre options
Well it really depends on wheel size... if you have stock 16" rims, tyres are relatively cheap, 18" you're looking at around $200 per corner for quality tyres.
You can buy new Federal 595's on ebay, I'm sure many here would agree these are some of the best quality and value street tyres you can get.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Federal-235-45-R ... 3354af7890
They would be great for the street at $133 each if you have 17" wheels for example.
And off topic: What's the difference between normal 595 and the 595 EVO?

Re: Tyre options

Re: Tyre options
No problem, just take a look at your tyres tmr in the daylight and read what it says in terms of size it'll be written along the tyre... e.g. 225/40/18 etc.

Just be wary with Ebay guys, Im about to purchase a set off Ebay & you really need to check the age of the tyre with the seller.
The manufacture date is stamped on the side wall of every tyre. They only have a shelf life of between 2 & 4 years depending
on how well the tyres have been stored. 1 guy tried to sell me some RT615's for $100 a corner until I found out they were
6 years old... I knew it was too good to be true.

Re: Tyre options
