Tyre Choices
Okay - rear tyres are getting thin and I'll will have to replace very soon.
Given up on an authentic tyre due to the 16" Dragway's so looked into the following (in no particular order).
Prices based upon per tyre with size 245/45 x 16 x 8" rims:
Toyo Proxes T1-R @ $249
Dunlop SP Sport 2000E @ $175
Hankook Ventus K102 @ $210
Falken 451 @ $279 (existing tyre); and
Goodrich Profiler @ $269
Basically the Cobra is used for dry weather only and therefore not concerned too much about wet grip.
Of the above the Toyo seems to have the most aggressive tread, but the Hankook's do seem well priced.
Has anyone got any advice of those which are a good buy (and probably more importantly those which are not)?
Thank you
