carrera 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 It's time to replace the 2 rear tyres on my E30 320i. Any suggestion for a all round type tyres? My budget is around $160 per pc. I prefer more wet grip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) I've got a set of high tread directional (6-7mm) 195x65x14's if you we're interested. I'm getting a nother E30 at some stage and probably wont need them. My car was rear ended recently and one of the set of tyres was damaged due to driving it home with a rubbing guard, a set of 3 isnt very useful to me so if your interested in them I'd be happy to do a pair for a reasonable price. The tyres are cured, which means thread will wear down at a slower than normal rate. Edited May 17, 2006 by E30stz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Andrew Report post Posted May 18, 2006 alsoDunlop Direzzas are a great all round tyre - or Yoko C-Drives Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petone 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2006 I like em. Paid $110 fitted and balanced in 14". very decent wouldn't bother if you going to track them though. few times round manfield and i half melted them. Also they are asymetric, meaning you can't flip them if you have bad camber/toe problems. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 Sounds pretty good - but I'm comparing them to what I pay up here and Nthld tyres cost about 15% more than AKld tyres RRP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(mad deals) great tyres, can't rate them high enough, for what i've hit them with so far. even on gravel they're not bad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30SIX 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2006 I am getting a set of 225/50R16 Dunlop Direzza this weekend. $170.00 per tyre from Tony's Tyre Service, they ussually charge $190.00 per tyre. North City Tyres quoted me $212.00 per tyre. So I don't know if Tony's Tyre Service has given me a good deal or not but it's dam good compared to what North City Tyre's quoted.
