[aliasmk2]

I've had a thing about TOYO T1r latley
they are toyo's top road tyre ATM, they get top reveiws & stand above all the other in the area of aquwa planning they seem to wear very well & are also well priced

How much are the toyo's?

[aliasmk2]

I have been paying about $ 130, for 15' x 195 x 50
So I suppose the 16's wont be much more
I have found them best value for the money without getting into Pzero's ect
cheers Ian

Nexen N3000 205/45/16 although 215/40/16 would be better and 205/40/16 for the win.



$520 a set from my local dealer. Heading back from Rally SA yesterday flat stick these tyres just keep impressing. Had Toyo's etc but considering tyres can only handle x amount of heat cycles I'll have a fresh set of these babies every year ta

Hey guys i just got a price for some Adrenalin Potenza RE001 205/45/16 for the polo $230 each. Ment to be really really good just released a month or so ago.
205/45/16 seem to be a little more due to the fact they are not an overly common size. I am sure they would be cheaper o the main land too tassie prices tend to be a little more due to frieght.

Was just down the wheel and tyre place to organise a pink slip for the wifes car so asked about the 205/45/R16's I wil eventually need forthe VR6 and was recommended Falken tyres @ $130 a corner.

Just another option for you.

Took a look at my tires yesterday and the fronts are on the wear indicators... oh crap.

Anybody know any other tyres that may fall under this category? I'm planning to ring some of the places up to get some prices and will update this as I go. Also, the loadings and speed ratings are well within the capabilities of the Golf.

Matt, did you end up getting new tyres? If yes, what did you end up going for? And how much?

After a bit of a think and consult with some people in the know, I've booked in for Nexen 6000's this coming Thursday.

The reason I went for something less-then-stellar is that my current PZero Nero's arent load rated to the car. Apparently, a lot of other tires in my size arent load rated correctly either But the Nexens are.

I dont much fancy my current rims too, so I decided cheap tires for the moment, then save for new rims + tires (although in the mean time need to save up to replace my worn out shocks).

The nexens are going to run me $152 each, for 4. Fitting extra.

Oops, turns out they were Nexen 3000s!

Not overly impressed by them, but then again I guess I shouldn't be. Grip is nowhere near the old pirellis, but at least I wont get a ticket from the fuzz now.
