where in sydney do you buy tyres from?

The last time i bought Kumho KU36 from option1garage 1.5years ago was $144ea, but now its $211ea.

Just bought 2 new rear tyres for ours.

Yokohama A-drive R1, 235x45 r17

$160 per tyre.
Bob Jane has them marked for $165.

What size are you after?

Tempe Tyres have some great prices.

225/40/R18 - KU36 ... Fitted, balanced, & wheel alignment - All included in the price for in-store sale @ $210 per corner.

Sad, they aren't in Brisbane

Option One is probably that competitive in Brisbane

Tyrepower near my place quoted identical prices. Just looking around if theres any better price out there.
Yes, KU36 are exceptional tyres for its price. but its been 1.5years of city driving +2track days, its pretty bald and noisy now.

Yea, you can't go wrong with another set of ku36, as long as the price is good.

Else 595rsr is the go, which is a little better at dry but sucks at wet compared to ku36.

I've been quoted $320 per corner for hankook rs3 @ 225/40/R18... fitted and balanced.
but still not sure whether that's a right choice considering the 140 wear rating and I'm running it as daily.

How many Ks your ku36 lasts?

I paid $129 for Good Year Eagle F1 Directionals 215/40/17. Better than the legendary GD3S which I had before the directionals. They are somewhere around $230 retail??

Where did you get the, from?

Got myself a set of advanti 17" wheels. They currently have worn out 255 40 17 and 235 45 17.

What should I take note about tyre choice so the speedo will not be out of tune?

How about altenzo sports comforter in 235 45 17. They are on sale for $119 each.
