I get annoyed of all these corolla/jazz/camry drivers with xenon bulbs in their standard headlights. can't see a damn thing when they drive past. and if they are behind you its just overkill!

A lot of these are Xenon bulbs (HID-look-alike, with filaments, not HIDs) with inappropriately selected colour output and badly adjusted.

Unfortunately though there are a few who do put HID retrofits into reflectors, and they are terrible...

pricing up some tyres atm - what's everyone running? I've been told the Kumho KU31 is good bang for buck and are quiet for the whole life of the tyre, whereas Bridgestone Adrenalins can get a little noisy. Any other options?

Also starting to get prices on suspension with the aim of a 30-40mm drop, but I'm kinda hanging out to see pics of Dub_Star_V6 once he gets his done so I can see what it looks like - hurry up dude! lol

Pirelli P-Zero Neros here. Will be changing to straight P-Zeros once these ones are done. Don't know what your budget is but these have been a great tyre for me.

Cheers,
Trent

I've got KU31s i think? on my 18" A8s, there Kumhos anyways. Compared to my mates "good quality" tyres on his saab, i don't think they go to bad, don't have much to compare to but i would defiantly look at them again.

As Trent said, +1 for PZero Nero. Great so far, beautiful ride and grip, super quiet too. Those interested can read all about my wheel & tyre upgrade antics here.

Pierre, I hear the downside to the Toyo's being super sticky is that they don't last so long (because they're so soft.) Can you confirm?

they've lasted me longer then p-zeros.. defintely one of the better tyres ive used over the years.. (and i was going through a set a month when i had a rwd lol) depends how you drive, me... everywhere is a racetrack unfortunately!

you will find michelin, pirelli and toyo's all very soft unfortunately.. but the handling/performance is crazy
