ok so i paid a visit to the shop this morning - some random place that looked cheap as im new to the gold coast and asked for some cheap ass 205/40/17's (set of 4)

the dude basically told me that these are mega expensive and only 3 company's make these tyres in australia? said id be looking at $300+ per tyre brand new and that finding second ones would be a mission... he then went on to saying that 215-40-17 would fit and that i could get brand new for roughly $120 a pop

to be fair - i am hoping to pick 4 tyres that fit for a couple of hundred bucks max

should i search the internet for 205-40-17 and order the cheapest set i can find OR go with 215-40-17 and search the net looking for cheapest set i can find...??????

in your own opinion what size would you go with if your looking for cheapest option?

Surprising what people at tyre shops don't know, I was told 205s wouldn't inflate on 7.5"s....idiots.

Call them, Kumho KU31s. They haven't listed them on the site, but around $145 each and their not Maxxis, Nankang, Posicraps....

Avoid those rubbish brands, your car will chew them up and be less fun and safe in the meantime, false economy a lot of the time.

That tyre shop guy is lying..

I have four different branded 205/40r17's on my at the moment...

[doomsday1071]

thing im confused about is that the stuffed tyres on the rims right now are 215-35-17

im assuming 205/40/17 is probably the most popular fit from you guys, so im leaning towards 205/40

just checking that 205/40 would definitely fit right?

actually, saying that i might look at 205/40 & 215/40 & 215/35 and go with whatever i can find at the cheapest rate

[KI11Z]

They'll all fit mate, don't worry.....
