Tyre advice - Stock NA8 14" rims

Postby bensale » Mon Feb 02, 2009 3:49 pm

Hey mate,

As you've probebly read I'm very happy with my Bridgestone Adrenalin Re001's, they seem like a great tyre, a good price is between $105 and $121... Make sure you shop around as they can be as expensive as $145. The problem is that they are made in Australia, and despite assurances from Bridgestone quality is still questionable... Read what people have said & make up your own mind on that.

Other options include the Yokohama C drive which is quite highly rated, although at Winton it seemed a lot of people were complaining about there performance in the really hot (40+ deg) weather. A great all rounder tyre, although more expensive than the bridgestone. If you can find them the Kuhmo KU31 seems quite well regarded, but i couldn't find any...

There are probebly a few more options, but the tyre choice in performance 185/60/14 isn't huge.
