Hey just upgraded my 235 45 17 tyres from some cheap traxxion brand to pirelli dragons and i tell you what there is a big difference in the ride and hanidling of the car. I figured i'd change them with this crappy weather were having in melb, sounds weird but waiting for it to rain to actully see how this tyre performs, with the old ones it was scary to drive any faster than 85 on the freeway, ill post a pic soon.

Its like chalk and chees good tyres... i try to always spend alittle more and get better tyres for all the cars ive had.... Even puttin $800 worth of tyres on a $1500 car.... TX3 but i like to drive ......HARD!:badgrin:

And its the one thing that counts the most when it comes to stopping and turning....and ur life! Can make the difference to hitting that tree and not hittin that tree if you know what i mean!lol

Yer, my last tyres came as a package with my rims and were rubbish ($990 for 17s) and the set i got now were $850ish and just blow the last set out of the water.

The 15 dollars wasnt a big deal just the fact that i had only had them 1 day and this happens, it's bound to happen.......
