Title: more new tyres
Post by: ausi30 on July 19, 2013, 07:00:45
Hi all,
Like Rustynutz, I have just replaced my original hankooks after 45000kms. Still had a bit of wear left on them and I did not have any complaints about them either. There appeared to be absolutely even wear all round. 1 x wheel alignment and 1 x rotation in this time. 
However a good deal from JAX saw me do a deal for 4 x Michelin pilot sport 3's for a drive away price of $660.
 We have a 2010 cw crdi and I normally run 36psi all round. No changes with the new tyres .
Noticable differences at this stage are better steering and braking response and a bit quieter.(what more do I need)
So far only around town(up to 80kmh). I will let you know if they don't perform on the highway, but I have a feeling I will have nothing to report.
Don

Tis what I am planning to add at a later stage. I'd be interested in your views on the change in performance on the backroads.

Thanks for the report - it's the sort of information that we all need.  :goodjob2:
