Has anybody with the Marangoni's had them on long enough to comment on durability/wear?

I've had 'em 6 months now ... no signs of wear ... but that's only about 7,500ks.Quote:

OK I've been looking for a good deal on the Marangoni's in Canberra, and the best I could find was about $200 fitted. This is really stretching my budget at the moment, and I want to get my GTI rims onto my Polo, so I've been ringing around and I'm also considering:
Falken ZE912's for $159 fitted
Firestone Wide Ovals for $186 fitted
Kuhmo KU25 $150 fitted
Kuhmo KU31 $175 fitted
I'm leaning towards either the Kuhmo KU25's or the Falken ZE912's at the moment - has anybody got these on?
I found a place that sells "slightly used" imported euro tyres, and can supply Pirelli P Zero's for $90, but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with that...:frown:
had mine about 6,000kms and they still look brand new. i really push them hard as well! traction is still as good as when i first go them.Quote:

Just did a trip to blue mountains and back via Oberon on Saturday. It was raining all the way and although the road is very twisty in places I was still able to stick at the speed limit for indicated 65km/h corners.
Yeah - I rang around a couple of different Jax stores in Canberra for quotes on the Marangoni 205/45/16's and they ranged from $195 to $215. If I could find a price in the $170-$180 ballpark my budget could probably stretch that far.Quote:

The quote you guys have a so expensive...
Maybe it's the cost of trucking them to Canberra ...Quote:

Based on the glowing reviews i've got a couple of Marangoni Zeta Linea on order to be fitted friday. $189 quoted. Bridgestone in brisbane.
