Default New tires

my car tires are very soon due to be replaced with the new however, I am wondering if you know any tire store that provides the wheels that fits the fez at a reasonable price - not-so-overpriced either? As I am on a tight budget here. If you know one company that povides it, list it in here and I'll see if they exist in Canberra

If they're 195/45/16, the cheapest I found were Falkens. I went with toyo proxes for twice the price though.

Toyo Teo Plus .. (if they come in your size, which I'm pretty sure they do)

Best tyre out there for the money! .. very quiet, good mileage, handle well, and are a top quality Japanese made Silica content tyre.

Got them on the wife's Lancer, have been very impressed with them, will definately be getting them again next time round.

Sometimes hard by accident, due to the traction control, front tires seems bare but can last a little longer, wont get the new tires sometime in the new year....

What tyres did you have on your car originally JClarke? I had the Hancooks and they were wearing ok at 15,000km, with plenty of hard driving.

The car is now at 30500km's
and the tires are still ok for the time being, but needs to be replaced very soon
I did some calls/emails and got a few.

From Beaurepaires - what a rip off.
Dunlop sports tires $294 each
Good year tires $272 each

From Bridgestone - $195 each, but **** tires.

Bob Jame T-marts
$165 each and they are Falken tires.

Will use this one, at least, I have used bob Jane in the past with my previous cars anyway.
