Any comments regarding quality? Not necessarily looking to spend a heap, but don’t want rubbish.

Years ago, my young fella bought his 1st car. a Mitsa Lancer.
It drove OK, but it handled like a bag full of arsholes.
Changing a few things in the back suspension made no difference.
The tyres were. Federal Flyhorse. when we biffed them away and put some dunlops on, it was a sweet little car again.

Just saying, thats all.

I put some Federal super steel 595s on my Holden avalanche 6 years ago but have done over 50,000 ks on 2 of them and will get a couple more wofs yet I got a cut in 1 about 2 years ago and coudnt get any the same at the time so got a pair of Maxxis on the back they seem good as well and I put a set on the wifes Grand Vitara.

Had a pair on the front of an MGF a while back, they were just OK, nothing more.

I would prefer to know what the vehicle the tyres are required for is and what performance envelope the vehicle is to be operated in.
Federal make street legal semi-slicks that are used in the targa through to the big 4x4 off/ on road tyres the Diesel Brothers flog off.

Thanks for that info

Another option is the Bridgestone tyre that the car is released with. The Lexus run the same tyre size and after 12 months they get a free new set. I know a bloke who buys and onsells the ones that come off. He does them for $500 a set. We’ve done this twice and got 30000 kms each time. Seems a reasonable deal but it’s a pain driving all the way to where he is based

What vehicle is this for?

mals69, Oct 27, 5:58am
Check out reviews for the bridgestone, you only
got one mrs, put a good handling, braking, in
the wet tyre on.

That's what's on the 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe

so courier them down and fit locally.-If they are OE on a Lexus and you still get 30000 ks they sound like good value and quality even if you have a bit of extra cost.for fit/balance

intrade, Oct 27, 6:09pm
can you look in the owner manual if it lists other dimensions? i would have to ring them if you really need That size.

intrade, Oct 27, 6:11pm
The chevrolet bolt sure has some crap tyres on from new. i wotched the review . You can hear the tyres loos traction quite often so what ever they fit new is defiently nothing good.

They are the brand that the car came out with. I’d hope at over $550 a corner they were ok? Anyway she has found and bought some herself . Hopefully a bit quieter than the Bridgestone
