RE002 - 21540R17 - BRIDGESTONE > Tyres | Kmart Tyre & Auto Service

what about the adrenalin 002's from bridgestone? I haven't personally tried this variant (nearly all other performance versions though) but i have heard very good things about them.

I looked at them however for $280 per corner...I'd be safer with Michelin Pilot Sport 3 for $265

Its hard to find good 215/40r17 tyres especially under $225 >.< My brothers GTI is being decked in Pirelli P-Zeros for $220!

Wait you can get pilot sport 3 in the 215/40r17 size?

If so I am definitly getting a set

Yeah mate, ring up Costco...they sell Pilot Sport 3's and if you ask nicely they might do a free nitrogen fill on all 4 tyres

Edit: So Dunlop SP Sport Maxx in 205/45zr17 88W would be a safe choice for my 17x7.5 Talladegas? I've been thinking...$155 per tyre is dirt cheap right?

E.G Loss of grip due to the reduction of pavement contact, 2% speedo isn't too bad I guess?

Thank you so far for your assistance guys!

But the quote you got for the Kumho KU39 is cheaper still ($140 per tyre) and it's the same size as the OEM fitment.

I'm just a wee bit afraid of Kumho's I don't know why...are they any good/reputable tyre performance/life?

Well im currently running KU31's, and they seem to be great, the reason i got them is i was looking on tyre reviews from the UK and u can select reviews for the exact tyre size u want, and for me (215/40/17) they were 4th, and that was based on a few thousand reviews

In the wet they are still pretty good, i wouldnt say amazing but OK

KU39s are probably the best reviewed tyre of the entire Kumho range. No they're not street legal semi slicks but they will fair quite well against several more expensive performance brand tyres.

Not only that but the 215/40R17 87Y also has an XL load rating.

Kumho Prestige Car Tyres | ECSTA LE Sport KU39 |

Flagship tyre apparently. For $140 a corner it wouldn't hurt to give them a shot?...my Continentals are at its halfway point of its tyre life...

[alexaescht]

Not street legal?

Kumho Prestige Car Tyres | ECSTA LE Sport KU39 |

It's listed as a sport prestige tyre *Cofused*

I think he was trying to say they aren't like street-legal semi slicks in terms of their performance.
