Tyres for 205/45 R16

[Tim]

be careful to get something with the correct load rating. The choices are surprisingly small.
I went for michelin pilot precedas. Which are ok. Not the best but not the worst. The new version is sposed to be better though. I think in that size theyre around $250 per corner.

whats your budget?

[Golf Loon]

Yeah not many choices in that size.
We have the same size on the wifes 16v Tolly and I just got a set of American Hercules brand tyres.
They are load rated, directional and have a water dispersant tread.
I paid $115 each for em.
3000kms on we are happy.

the other tyres i looked at were yohohamas and bridgestone. But my tyre fitting friend was of the opinion the michelins were better.

Just check out their website and u will see what they have to offer

[DubSteve]

I will have to look properly but I have Yoko's for $110 and they were a 215/40/16.

They also had them in a 205 for the same price, but none when I was there.

[Tim]

yeah this is why budget is a big factor too.

[MattyT]

I'm preparing for $1000 all up, but less would be better. So much wallet rape lately!

So much wallet rape lately!

I used to use Silverstone for 205 45 R16's on my old Hyundai

Were always a realyl good tyre with really good grip in both wet and dry.

When it comes time to replace my tyres on the VR6, which are also 205 45 R16's I will be looking at Pirelli's since I have a mate in the biz who can get them cheap.
