kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 Nice They aren't cheap but I've only heard good things about them.i was quoted 310 for some bridgestones but jeff gray recomended tyre clinic and i needed to get the shimmy fixed...so i didnt shop around as much as i normally would.Was most concerned about getting a good alignment and balance done Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bmpower 3 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 damn thats expensive!! on friday i just got 2x 225x45x17 dunlop dz101 dirreza's for dads car, only $167ea and was quoted $225ea for dunlop sportmaxx in same size. if you need tyres give me a shout next time - might not be able to get you my deals, but it should definatly be alot cheaper than that! i know some people, good people!

hybrid 1039 Report post Posted May 18, 2008 Been running fk 452's for the last two years ... Im on my second set. I highly rate them .. My fronts (which are being replaced on thursday) are just hitting legal limits .. and they still work excellent in torential rain. Dry grip is awesome... they are not as soft as a direzza but not as hard as a conti. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
