I didn't know what forum to put this into, but I think it's close enough to wheels and suspension.
I'm going to be buying a set of 225/60R15s for my XR rims on my falcon.. now on my previous falcon I had these tyres from GT Radials and they were awesome. I did the ring around and most places mentioned tyres like Sava Intensa or Bridgestone... Now I know there's a lot of good tyres out there, but there's also a lot of bad tyres out there. I was wondering what everyone here has and what you recommend. I'm also after any tyres that were crap so I can steer clear of them. |

Stick to the tyres you like - GT Radials are very good tyres!! then you know you will get good use out of them

Apparently the US manufacturer has stopped sending GT radials to Australia so they're hard to come by.. especially in non-common sizes like 225/60R15

I am having problems finding the right tyres for my Fairlane at the moment. Trying to get some tyres in 235/60/15. Very hard as a lot of manufacturers have stopped making this size. The ones that I think that Im gonna go for are the Yokohama Y352 as I am very happy with the yokies on my XR8 albeit a different tyre.

mmm if you want cheap tyres sava's are alright. but the quality is s**t. Uber soft compound, only just got 10,000km out of my 17's so far with maybe 60ish% left. and the road noise on the highway is terrible and not to mention grip in the wet is non existant

i had sava's, never again, they smoke alright, and lack of grip in wet as was just said.
i recommend nankang tyres as a budget tyre.

Bridgestone G-grid's are a good. Good grip, good mileage but not so quiet. Still made in 225/60X15's.
