The Tyre Thread

[J]

Just call around another place, I never had that issue before.

Thanks JohnBu for sharing and confirming. I guess those guys saw her bringing the car in, and probably thought they could just rip more money off her!

Tempe Tyres said they are happy to do the lot for $100. I reckon it can be done cheaper elsewhere (rang about 5 places so far), but I think both her and I are beyond caring by this point: we just want it done!

On a slightly different note: I see so many people running Austyre (whose tread appears to be a rip off from the Dunlop Sports Maxx) and Rotalla tyres these days. I wonder if any OpelAus member has tried these?

I'm having trouble deciding between Bridge RE002's and yoko C drives.
The tyres I have on now are... ok... at best, (I've entered a round-about at 15km/ and brake harder to save entering the other lane) so I'm pretty keen for more grip.. not Overly fussed on tread wear, But I will be doing a 5k round trip soon, so don't want them stuffed by the time I get back.

So what's peoples thoughts on both, if you've driven both, how do they match up performance wise?

Alternatively, Best tyre for an Astra G, under $150

RE002 for sure.

The C Drive isn't a performance orientated tyre and has been around for a while. The S Drive is more of a RE002 competitor.

The RE002 are a good all round performance road tyre that has only been out for a year or so and also seems to wear well. Price wise, I think it's cheap for how good it is.

PS, I may be bias, but I haven't used Yokohama's for a long time. They previously had a reputation for notoriously soft tyre compound.
