Got new tyres fitted on saturday TOYO Proxes 245-50R-16.  The cost on the $882. Is that good or what! I saw the list price of $265 each. It's good to know someone. ;41:);35;28;39;40;)

Sounds like a good deal!  Have you had recommendations on those?

Are they hard/soft compound?  My rears are wearing quite badly....for some reason.

Oh yeah, I get told all the time, 'heard you go the other morning' by my neighbours too. But I only drive it on weekends.

I think it's an alignment problem.....the rear end is always out to the side!  ;35

After having Kelly tyres any tyre would be good, I gave it a quick spurt 160 on the F3 and it went well. As for the compound, when i hit it at the lights it burns rubber, my wife wouldn't let me hit the corners hard (complains a lot when I drive fast, u know the feeling). I am very happy with them.
As for starting early for work, my neighbour just retired and I am will be his alarm clock he he he he;26;41. What a ;ass I can be. He didn't mind the ride only the noise.

Went for a run to Picton and back with the new TOYO TYRES and they were great, where the rearend (arse) was sliding all over the place with the Kellys, the Toyo's hung on. I felt comfortable with them. Next time a bit wider, yea that will do the trick.
