mitsubishi make good pencils....

For the size your after, You should be able to get the Dunlop Direzza DZ101's for roughly $150 per tire, I put them on after the FM901's went out of production and they are the best all round tire I've driven on, more than happy with the performance.
Wear is good, Grip is exceptional wet or dry, but the only downside that I've found is that most shops want to charge you $200 per tire for them and they are a little noisy on the road

I just went in to a tire shop with $600 and said I have this money, I want those tires, A little while later I had them on my car.

I've heard the Good year GD013 or whatever they are called are good tires but I can't comment as I 've never used them :idea:

I was interested in dirreza dz101's but mag & turbo wanted $209 a tyre, which i thought was a bit steep.

Anyone got any hook ups? or know someone who would be keen to do a decent deal.

lol yeah i looked on the federal US website & they call the SS595's dirt spec or something simliar, it goes on about how good they are for drifting

tip: NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM MAG AND TURBO

unless you like to give away $$$

Edited for truth. Retail prices in general are thievery.

I would recomend Kuhmo 712(ECSTA Supra ), I have had them on my road starlet GT , just got a new set I liked them so much .
I was doing 1:26/7s around Mainfeild on them , and very good in the wet

Go to beaurepairs dude. Should be way cheaper than that. You just wanting set for the front, or all round cos they will do em cheaper if you get 4.

Agreed, i ended up paying about $179 a tyre for direzza's (got a good deal), and that was for 16's, which all 16's seem to be stupidly priced.

by **MasCam** » Mon May 14, 2007 8:38 am

shop around..

Try Beurepairs betwwen the 2 one ways and curzon mag and tyre and make sure that you mention that you are getting prices from other places as that get you a good price instead of full retail.

Chris.

Midway can also be used to get a good price to go bargining with.

id agree with that, got them on the front of the fxgt at the moment. very nice.

I still very much like the grid3s that are on the supra.

I've had three sets of Goodyear GSD3s now.
They're a damn good tyre.
I had them on my BZ-G Trueno, 205/45R16 and have a set for my AE92 FXGT now too, 15 inch though.

My mate has them on his Civic with 17s. In all cases they have performed extremely well.

dude goto any frank allen tyres or beaurepaires in the country and the dunlop direzza dz101 will cost you $170 fitted balanced and gst inlusive or get the goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3 for $190 fitted balanced and gst inclusive.

if they try and charge you more than that tell them to ring scott at frank allen tyres te rapa store number 02854

by **GTCRSHR** » Mon May 14, 2007 4:08 pm

i cant recommend gs-d3's enough, great tyres i would never buy any other kind of performance tyre

i have them on my corolla fxgt - on 18's 205x35x18

nice tyre to ride on, quiet tyre, stick like shit to a blanket, great in the wet, dry, icey

by **rolla_fxgt** » Mon May 14, 2007 4:13 pm

Cheers guys.

I'm going with dunlop direzza dz101's $151 fitted from beaurepairs in Dunedin, good guys to deal with, very helpful.
Firestone weren't very helpful, and seemed like they didnt want my business, so that put me off the brigestones.

But thanks eveyone for they're advice & help
