yep c.drives are great for the money. good grip, and also very progressive when they begin to give way.
i destroyed one of mine and had it replaced with a new one a few weeks ago (others are still very new so i just got one). when i got home i noticed that the new one was made in the philippines, but my old ones were made in japan. anyone else notice this change?
if you do get them, check each tyre to make sure they're fitted so that the correct sidewall is facing outwards before you leave the tyre shop. i had to take the new one back and get it swapped around.

Which Bob Jane's was it? I'll go in tomorrow and ask for 14's lol

I paid $195 when they first came out so you should be able to find them cheaper than that.

C-Drives were magic on my NA, if you get them be 'very' careful for the first 1000k's to wear off the Mold Release compound... They can let go very quickly until they are run in..

Excellent, just around the corner from my house

Fair enough. Let us all know how they go.

Brad you were correct, dropped into the local tyre place and he could do the 615s for $187 each. Pretty happy with that and I don't have to drive all over town to get them.
