What are you after in a tyre?
I ended up putting a pair of Goodyear Regatta HPs on the front wheels on my Bora recently (fronts had worn below legal and it got picked at rego). For ~$170 a corner, they've surprised me - I'm used to paying over $200 a corner for good tyres. They're quiet and grippy (designed for European cars, they're more of a touring style tyre than a sports tyre).
The RE001 Adrenalins are a bit sportier, but they're sold by Bridgestone as being sportier than they really are - they're not as good as the RE050A for instance. That said, I'm considering a set on my 17" wheels for day-to-day driving.
Over on nissansilivia.com there are some great prices on Kumho tyres: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/i...owtopic=369686 - some of them may be worth considering (I am considering a set of KU36s myself as a track tyre). A friend has KU31s and is happy with them as a "street performance" tyre.Nothing to see here...

I'm happy with the bridgestone adrenalines on my car. I've had them for around 2 months now, and they certainly are dependable in the wet. My old tyres broke traction in the wet way too easily in 2nd gear, let alone 1st (with only half throttle or less!). The adrenalines have to be pushed a lot harder to break traction under the same conditions.
If you want a good street tyre, you will be impressed with them.sigpic

Let's keep the drags off public roads hey?i'm in the same situation, just missed out on a nice cheap set of 17's, so need to get 4 new tyres. adrenalins are also my top prority. had a look at a couple reviews and liked them. got a quote from a nearest tmarts - $165 a corner, which i think is a good deal.

The comment about dragging is to keep you out of trouble with the boys in blue...
Was that $165 per corner for Adrenalins in 225/45R17? If so, where? The cheapest I got quoted was $202 a corner...Nothing to see here...
