Ride: BF MKII Ghia

Hey looking for some new rubber my car is BF MKII GHIA

some of the tires i had considered are

Bridgestone Turanza ER300
Hankook Ventus V8 RS
Hankook XQ Optimo

hankook and bridgestone were the 2 more common brands our tyre shop sells

I have the turanza er300 on my car now have done about 30k on them and they were on the car when i bought it. like all buyers looking for quiet , long life, good grip. but long life and grip dont go together ;). i had used hankook on my old car but it was that long ago cant compare the quality.

Cheers

I'm using Firestone TZ700 (235/45R17) prior to that I had TZ100s. had a good run out of the TZ100s so opted for the TZ700 which are the successor.

For this size they are $179

Khumo KU31's are another tyre to look at. I had a set on my XR8 for 7500k's. These were a good tyre, gripped well, good wet traction. The only reason they got replaced after 7500k's was 3 trips to Willowbank, totalling 27 runs. They don't like burnouts.....
