Hi everyone
My tyres are almost dead mainly from my rearend deciding to sag a bit and wearing the inside of the tyre away,so i'm on the lookout for a new set. There is quite a selection to pick from these days ranging from about $150 up ,each manufacturer claiming their tyres are best. So i thought i would ask the real experts ,that is the people who drive around everyday on these tyres and try to find out which tyres are the best for grip and wearability.
So speakup which tyres do you think are best and why?.
p.s i dont need jenny craig for my saggy rearend but if you do know how to fix please let me know. :D

I shopped around and end up buying goodyear F1 tyres about 6 month ago, I have only done about 1000 to 1500 km's on them so far, I'm very happy with them. Drove in the wet for the first time with them about a month ago and they had heaps of grip and they are great in the dry too.
Good alround tyre my 2 cents!

Can't complain about my Bridgestone S03 on my Clubby. Awesome traction in the wet and hardly any wear in the 17000 travelled so far.

the new dunlop sport 3000A's are supposed to be one of the best around. was going to get them but was afraid they'd scrub due to their slightly wider casing. they should be good as well at $240 a tyre in 235/45 R17 form ;)

i have falkens on atm, great in the dry but slippery, almsot dangerous, in the wet!!!

From what i've heard the Continental Contisport 2 are one of the best tyres around wet and dry.
If you want tyres that are grippy as on dry roads and average in the wet the Falken Azenis Sport RT215's are the ones you want,basically they are a race tyre.(im going to get me some of these for my race rims) :lol:
