I had the original assymetrics before the 2's came out. Quite expensive but worth it i reckon. Quiet, grippy and predicatable handling.
Also all the reviews rate them very very highly. only thing is i found they wore a little quicker than i'd like.
Yeah, i read quite a few reviews, i found out the Pirelli Pzero is not so good in terms of grip or the road noise and they are about $225 each and bridgestone potenza which around $300 something tends to understeer and wear quite heavy, all the reviews saying the Goodyear Assymetrics 2 is really really good in terms of wear, quietness, and grip but the michelin is also a good choice. I have found a tyre shop where they can offer me $310 each for 225/40/18 and $400 for 265/35/18 which is great..i called up Jax they are saying $500 each i am like what a rip off, cant really trust the price that people quote over the tyre shop, they tend to go up really high.
