Bazzle,

How many k ms did you get out of the OEM tyres? And was it all freeway/suburban? or was there some 'spirited' efforts on 'closed' roads?

32,000k, "Mixed" and "Spirited " driving.

Isn't this tyre that finished last in the Evo test a couple of years ago.

Here we go........

Did you pick them up locally or from overseas Bazzle?

Guy has some yokohama advan sport's and says they are quite good, how do the S-drives compare?

Cant compare them as I havnt driven on the sports. Some pepole I know have, on BMW 3 series and only comments were going off in hard prolonged track use, which I wont be doing. (Same applies to 99% of road tyres I suppose.)

We have 47k kms on our OEM tyres (to be honest...I can't recall if they are Dunlops or not - will have a look when I get home this coming week).

Just had a service yesterday.......Joe (Golfwagen - Wangara) reports that they are fine. Front pads have a bit more to go.......all good.

[offtopic] Big +rep for Joe and Wade at Golfwagen.....always great service delivered with a smile. Thanks for looking after the .:R /[offtopic]

My sport maxx were getting noisy after 10,000k, wouldn't get them again and not for the price even though they are a 'premium' tyre.

I've done about 13,000km on those Falken RT-615's but only about 1-1.5mm left on the inside edge on the rears, don't think i'll be getting those again unless i can source them cheap. Great tyres but don't last that long .

In the past I had some Yoko A539's that were great, they don't make them anymore but i'd consider them as a brand still but the F1 Asymmetrical's seem the best (but not the cheapest, also not sure if anyone has been running them long term yet).

Is anyone running the Goodyear Eagle F1 assymertrical's?

I would be curious to know how the drive, sound (road noise), how long these puppies last?

After a couple of weeks now I am still happy with the purchase. Good turn in and positive grip.
The slightly wider tread gives a more square look on the rim. I like that over the stretched look, also gives 'little' more protection when near a kerb.
Ive had the front liner screw rub a few times. Must get around to removing and tucking in the liner.

How much cheaper were the 235s than the 225s?

I've been getting quotes for 225s and any decent tyre is $450+

A few people have them on Golfmkv.com, do a search on there perhaps. Fairly highly rated and top of the reviews.
