Tyres In Nz

[greeneyes]

If this posts OK, you should be able to see what is available locally for what price. Gav & I are both about to get tyres, and he reckons the Falkens. I'm going to try the Toyo T1's, then we can swap for a day or two. The Goodyear Super Ducaro's have been "OK" on Greeneyes, but at 46000km the rears are finished.

Any other stories?

I'm not sure what size your running, perhaps 215/40-17 or 215/45-17? After 14 years in the tyre and alignment industry, in my opinion. If you want value for money or bang 4 bucks! You can't go past the GT Radials HPZ. Quiet, good tread life and a fraction of the price of a Bridgestone, I'm running them in the 235/40-18 front and 265/35-18 rear on my 2wd Rodeo Ute and as soon as I've smoked these Hankook's that my Soarer V8 had on when I brought it, HPZ's will be the first choice.

I have heard nice things said about the Goodyear F1's from a customer driving a R33 GT-R with 400kw where the rubber meets the road. Personally I don't believe there has ever been a "good Goodyear".

Well that's my opinion.
