Falken Ze231 or something, someone please tell me thier good.. I really want to get out there!!! this replaced my $250 michelins which survived 9 sprint events )so I am going to wait till have I a set of 17's with semi's on them... You mean Flaken ZE512 Ziex's Garlic ?

As for the ZE329s, just hope it's not raining. Despite the massive water channel, they're not the greatest handling tyre in the wet, better than what they replaced though. ZE512s are great though, shame I only had them for a week  ROCK ON R~R Well they had to be better than what I took off.. they were bald (steel showing on one, and worn through the steel on the other. Actually that isn't fair on the tire, I drove with a bent steering knuckle for about 100kms. Not my smartest decision) |

If your only looking for semi slicks try Silverstones for bang for buck I told the guy I wanted some cheap tires. He told me I should spend $250+, I told him I didn't want to do any performance driving on them, He laughed and gave me these tires... Well when I have a spare 1K sitting around I will purchase some second hand 17's and find some semi slick rubber to go on them... until then, I guess I am spectating |

At this stage it looks like I will have to run a pair of street Bridgestone Potenza GIIIs in 225/50/16 in future rounds. The front pair of my old semi-slicks that I had last time are looking rather poor after the last round. http://www.silverstonecompetitiontyres.com/ PM CameronBNR ... or Z CAR RACING 14 Kenway Drive UNDERWOOD Brisbane 4119 ph 07 3808-2755 fax 07 3290 0957 QUOTE(garlic_s5rx7 @ Mar 14 2007, 11:13 AM) [snapback]1280861479[/snapback] I told the guy I wanted some cheap tires.

QUOTE(GTRVspec95 @ Mar 16 2007, 08:44 AM) [snapback]1280868374[/snapback] Garlics opened up a whole new can of worms I guess the question can be asked ... What tyres do you use ? What tyres have you used ? How do you rate the tyres you've used in terms of grip, longevity, dry / wet conditions etc etc I'd thought you'd be spoilt for choice with your rim sizes Oh how I'd love to have wheels smaller then 17's to shoud I use Accelera's $62 a tyre When I needed new tyres I went to Craig and he recommended them and have been using them since. They are perfect for my car currently with its suspension and tyre size. A stronger sidewall would be good but not much you can do when your running 175/70 13 tyres. They grip well, not great in the wet but I think thats more my car as they were certainly a big step up from the tyres on it before these. Longevity = poo. A set lasts me about 2 months.. But I do drive a hell of alot. |

on the street i use Federal 595's (205/40R16) they have lasted me 20,000k's so far and still have a bit left in them, very good in the dry (more so when new) but not that flash in the wet |

The wet part is magnified I've yet to give them a really good floggin' as my car's suspension wasn't set up last time (read softer then a marshmellow in hell) but they are really good and cheap for dry conditions |
