  • 215/40/17 tyres hard to find??

    I am trying to find a tyre place that stocks 215/40/17 tyres!
    (need to replace the original Dunlops that came on the Polo GTI)
    It seems like they all say the same thing "thats an odd size...have to order it in etc..."

    I have been quoted $250+ per tyre...

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey Tigger

    Try KMart. They usually have the Dunlops in stock and at $60 - $70 cheaper

              a quick search revealed

              Tyres

              you might need to check if the speed ratings etc are OK

                Same fitment as many Polo 9N3 owners on 17's. There is a sticky with over 400 posts.
                I had Ku31's which are good for the $100-120 a corner price for the first 1/2 of their life.
                Currently running Federal 595 RSR's on the front at closer to $200 a corner (lotsa grip in the dry, hoping for 20,000 kms)

                Other options include, Nexen N6000, Bridgestone RE002, Goodyear Eagle F1, Achilles ATR Sport, Pirelli P Zero Nero.
