Tyres
Hi guys,
I am having some problems finding a decent tyre in Adelaide for a 225/40/18 set of wheels. I want something with good grip (dry and wet), and preferrably a decent life of over 30,000kms. Low noise would be a bonus too. Anyone have any recommendations under $350 / tyre? |

You think? Try the wheels and tyres Section of this forum. Or buy a copy of Motor or Wheels tyre comparison editions, or even try one of the many tyre shops in Adelaide. Rough rule of thumb: Grippy Quiet Long lasting Reasonably priced Choose any 3 - ie. you can get grippy, quiet, reasonably priced but not long lasting. Any tyre is a compromise. |

Because he hasn't tried anything better. Directional technology is so 90's. Asymmetric is where it's at these days.

What makes asymmetric better? Because the price vs grip/performance vs noise vs life I am very happy with
