but that was when AUD was 95c it is now back to 80c

[milkman]

so RT615 > ToyoT1R

the Dunlop Direzza Z1's certainly are

but it is hard to tell exactly how much, because we are all comparing brand new tyres to the tyres that were last on the car (which is a set of clapped-out old tyres)

I nearly bought Z1's when the AUD was at 96c. They are a steal at $86 each for 195/55/15! Tirerack did a test and it beat the awesome RE01R's.

Yeap. I hated my T1R's. Soft sidewalls and they weren't progressive. Found them abit lacking for grip as well.

so about $950AUD shipped from USA (incl. $250 shipping)... so still up around $240ea with the 80c exchange rate...

(would have been 195ea at the 95c exchange rate...)

I bit that bullet on Saturday and got them... $250 was the best i found...

Called about 10+ places and difference between cheapest and most expensive was $10

[T-BaGGeR]

hey tinks, thanks for the reply. I have no idea how much tyres cost. I'm just after something that is non directional so I can rotate it any which way. the RE001's non directional?
they look like they are going to cost me around 200 which i think is quite fair. I don't drive the car at all. I'm only here for 3 months of the year.

Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001

Bridgestone hurstville
$171 each

Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001
205/55/15
Bridgestone Parramatta
$168 each
So far so good. Little noisy but offers a much smoother ride than my old tyres (Falken semi's came with the car and were all cracked =P)
Drove it around a bend at 100 but i could smell the tyres after i had to stop at a light...

Any reason why you got 205/55/15? what car?
205/50/15 would've been substantially cheaper!
