tyre

[revhead1016]

hi guys, i'm looking at putting a new rubber on my car. so far i'm looking at bridgestone adrenalin potenza. any opinion about this tyres or any reconmedation other that continentals?

My GTI had 4x new Potenza Adrenaline when I bought it, they're still on so I can't compare them to anything else really. I've been happy with them, no complaints

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.

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.

i'm looking at potenza adrenalin RE001, i'm after for better handling in turn, wet and road noise. i 'm not going race them but i dont mind little street drag ever now and them. but i will consider other tyre, like what Manaz said.

I've put on KU31's. Was quite suprised and happy with grip in the wet. Instead of sliding to the other side of the road, car gripped and held nicely

The RE001 or KU31 would both suit I'd guess - KU31 being cheaper.

Let's keep the drags off public roads hey?

says a guy with a haldex controller 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.

[revhead1016]

Yevvy, i've been quoted 188 per corner for an adrenalin RE001, you got a good price there. i;m going to try to get that price here and the KU31's.

Yeah your right Manaz keep the drag race of the public road.

[blutopless2]

have the adrenalin's on my jetta in the 18". done about 5000k's on them and so far cant complain. seem to handle good in the wet etc.

I don't use the haldex in anger on public roads - it does help balance the car a bit better in cornering though, and will help a lot on the track (which is why I really got it).

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...

[revhead1016]

i know manaz, those blue boys are deadley here in canberra. and also avoid giving the veebud driver a bad reputation. thanks for that mate.

cheaps i can get a tyre (205/55/16) is 188 bucks man.

I'm just kidding mate

The quote is for the stock 205/55/R16s from bob jane tyres in artamon

[revhead1016]

you guys are lucky up in ther in sydney. no one will do that price here due to less competition. i can only get as cheap as 180.

wait for a cruise, come up here and get some new shoes, and come for a cruise with new rubber! simple!
