    I realise this is an old thread and not sure how many people are still on the forum, but seeing its a pinned tyre thread....

    Bridgestone are on their 4 for 3 offer till the end of June. The TS SRI Turbo compatible Potenza RE003 is around $230 each (I've got them on order, hopefully coming this week), so around $700 for the 4 tyres

    4 for 3 offer isn't bad hey. Last tyres I tried were not too bad at all either, actually really liked them both wet and dry performance. They were "Laufenn" and came up quite cheap, also had a 4 for 3 special. Have a look at them too.

    Tyre problem!!

    Hey everyone, maybe someone can help!

    I have a TS SRi-T and over the weekend I had a little drama where i had found one of my front tyres had a little thread exposed on the inside edge and had completely worn through.

    I took it down to a local tyre shop, one i found open, the best tyres they were peddling were Hankooks, 215/40/17 87w, dunno model number.

    Were $220 a corner so I got the fronts done to see how they handled. Wasn't expecting too bad a ride but I'm also coming off Eagle F1's and I have found them to be awesome. After fitting, the ride is ok, a little soft and not quite as sharp or responsive, but going around right hand turns, if i turn the wheel a little too sharply with any pace, the T/C kicks in and the wheel seems to jar/lock for a second as if i had lost all traction momentarily???!?!!!!

    Anyone had this problem, know the cause?

    Poor tyres?
    Poor fitment?
    Alignment/Balance?
    Trying to punt through right handers too hard? - This probably not the cause as all turns/corners were fine with the F1's fitted.

    Help!

    Cheers,

    Timbo

    might be over inflated as well, causing you to lose grip as you exit corners

    Tyre Sizes

    Curious to know how many of those who have 18" wheels on their Astra G Turbo are using 40 profile tyres?

    Do they rub with lowered springs?
