What is the top $$$ that you have to spend?

[Dan_Fto]

Proberly around about $500-$600.

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

[Dan_Fto]

Hmm ok so how much would a decent set cost me $800?

[hugekim]

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.

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?

[Dan_Fto]

Im not that knowledgeable about wheels and tryes but im pretty sure ive got 17" so $133 would be awsome. Thanks a lot for the help

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.

Cheers for all the help

225 x 40 fit on 18 x 8's mate. That how I roll

[aza013]

you will get rubbing with 235/40. I would go the 225/35/18's to be safe

[Bennoz]

You don't if you rip the arch liners out
