so what tyres would you recommend in 16" then guys?
was looking at potenza G3 But damn they are pricey
|
Maxxis MA-Z1 "Victra" - see the May 2005 Wheels tyre test. Cheapest tyre in catagory ($198 in 235/45R17) and it finished 3rd against $250-->$360 tyres ! ! !
Unfortunately you're restricted to 205/40 and 205/45 in 16" rims: http://www.maxxis.com/products/automotive/product_ detail.asp?id=102
If you wanna step down a notch, the Maxxis MA-P1 did fairly well in the "cheapie" class, and should cost more like $120-->$130. http://www.maxxis.com/products/automotive/product_ detail.asp?id=262
BF Goodrich "Sport T/A" always do well (Top3 usually) in tyre tests, and your Bridgey Potenza GIII can be had for around $160->$170 in 215/60/16 if you call around. I've had no joy from Toyo's or from Sime/Simtyre. I just put (Hankook) Ventus sports K-104's on the front of the skyline, and they seem quite good - slightly grippier than the ROOTED Pirelli P-Zero's they replaced. Of course, their grip will fade below that level as they harden with age.
Oh - I had Ealge GS-D2's on the FRONT of my Celica, and LOVED them ! 60,000km on the front, and I always made 'em work HARD for da money. Nice stiff sidewall in 'em too, which gave bunta steering feel. This is them at 63,000km (long story - waited MONTHS for various 17" wheels which never came) :
