Tyres recommendations

[STI65]

So what is your recommendation, noone?
And what is a set of Eagle F1's worth T Go?

At the time they were $300/tyre without the 4 for price of 3 deal

That is way more than I wanted to spend but thanks for the info.

I'm not sure. I have the Ku31's, awesome for what they cost me ($440 a set balanced and fitted), but for double that you'd have to prowl for a bargain on a much better tyre I think. Lots of recommendations in the tyre sticky.

I'm pretty set on the KU31's. They seem like great value.

BF Goodrich GForce sport - fcking awesomely progressive and predictable.

plenty of warning when they're going to go, and when they do, they slide very slowly, none of this "tyres break and you're in a ditch" stuff.

great treadwear and actual longevity, and last set i got was $115 a corner balanced and fitted.

i rate them very highly, and in fact i will be putting my two spare ones on the back of my car this week - long story short, i've come to realise that it's a bit of a waste to run my current fronts, daily.

have a look at the KUMHO KU36

999automotive in brisbane or qld has them in stock and is a kumho dealer.
grip levels on these are amazing

Don't think they will come into his budget but have heard good things about the 36's.

KU36, if in your budget is a bang for buck tyre.

In the dry, the grip levels are there. Generally they need heat into them to get them going, but a fantastic tyre. Great tread life and "slick" tyre pattern. Unfortunately, in the wet is where this tyre lacks. Then again, you drive slow in the wet I assume. Also road noise is evident.

By all means, this is not a "track tyre" or "semi-slick" tyre as most reviews you google will tell you.

ku36 = loves to aquaplane, from word of mouth.

not being confrontational AT ALL, but merely in the spirit of discussion....

what do you (and anyone else, for that matter), refer to when saying "semi slick"?

because i think, on aussie forums, that there seems to be a synonymity between the two, and yet my webs reading would suggest otherwise....
