Tyres for a C4

(1/4) > >>

dino:
I need some new tyres to replace the Falken 275/40ZR17 tyres on my 1988 vette. I am after good quality tyres but don't want to spend a huge amount.

Does anyone have recommendations/warnings about suitable tyres and where to get them in Sydney or Canberra?

Alternatively, has anyone arranged for tyres directly from the US? I don't need them in a huge hurry.

I have read the earlier posts from a few years ago but would be interested in up-to-date info.

Rather than start a new thread.......

Has anyone got Sumitomo's on their C4?  I've seen a few C3's with them & heard they are resonably priced.

I kinda fried my rears at the convention.

I've run them in the past.  They are reasonably priced.  I didn't really have any complaints with them for the money except that they were "squealers" (every time I broke traction they squealed nice and loud so everyone looked).  They weren't the best in the wet either but to be honest I've never been happy ith any of the tyres I've had on the Vette in the wet - thats just the car I guess.  For the money they aren't too bad.
