MK6 Wheel / Rim / Tyre Thread

[nat225]

Old tyres with minimal thread depth is always louder compared to new tyres.

It is funny sometimes when u read tyre reviews and ppl complain about no grip on snow for summer tyres or even harsh ride for low profile tyres.

True, however I remember thinking the Potenzas were a bit noisy when first driving out of the showroom and on my way back to Canberra (and they were new!)

Great find. Im in need of new tyres, and had shortlisted my choice to the Asy2. So, I just called Goodyear Autocentre and they quoted $1078 for 4 fitted, balanced, etc. Thats for 225 40 18.

Jax Tyres have a special on Michelin PS3's - $249 each fitted & balanced. This is for the 235/40R18 though. The 225/40R18 is $329 each. Bit of a bummer, but the 235 is more popular size so economy of scale and all that....fair enough. The guy said I'll get a fleet discount though, as my car is leased through Toyota Fleet Management. The discount is usually pretty good so hopefully it will work out below $300 per tyre. All booked in for Tuesday. Now for new brakes....

[Tobes_WIR35]

So they couldn't get stock of the 225 PS3s, so instead I went with Pirelli P Zero's. Haven't had a chance to give them a full workout but my first impressions are that they are a very good tyre. I used to easily fry 2nd gear and sometimes third, now 2nd gear just hooks up and pulls. Feels very sure through the corners. Looking forward to a drive through the hills on the weekend...

Nice work

Got the Goodyear F1A2 last week.

So far so good and it's more quiet than I expected it to be. Good grip in both dry and wet and the ride is slightly better too.

Just bought 4 x Michelin 225/45/17 PS3s at Don Cornell's Bexley via Ebay at the moment............$621 delivered, worth checking I think

Does anyone know what the difference/advantages are of the Bridgestone Potenza MY01 Vs RE030 is?

The RE030's are $60 more expensive and have a slightly higher speed rating, but that's all I can determine.

The tyres my Golf came with are terrible in the wet, so it's time for some new ones.

What are the standard tyres on yours?
