Brakes, Suspensions, Steering, Wheels & Tyres / Tyres for C4 - Any Recomendations

« Last post by Vettech on February 15, 2025, 01:22:37 PM »

Members.

I need a set of tyres for the 87. Not long ago I put a set on the 90 and these were KUMHO 275/40ZR17  ECSTA 4X.
These were recommended by several members and they have turned out to be excellent wet or dry, good wear, little noise.

Now you are thinking - "well get some more " well they have been discontinued - surpassed by PA51 / 71 etc.
The real issue is the NEW prices for these new tyres is rediculous.

So I'm now considering Hankook, Nexan and of course KUMHO - these three seen to be available in the required size for 17" wheels.
Can any one recommend a tyre and or a Dealer with better prices - All the big names have big prices, even Tyroola is a rip off.
I did use TyrePro in Minto, but alas Wassa has closed up shop, pity he was very good.

The mm6 was originally designed and built by Borge Warner , when gm got involved with it  the box was built by tremec .
Having said that  I see you want a local repair but I?d look at Mal wood in QLD

The MM6 is aka the Tremec T56?

This mob in NSW sells Tremec and may be able to point you to a repairer: https://malexmotorsports.com/collections/tremec-transmission-parts

Maybe also call these guys:

https://www.difftrans.com/services/manual-transmission-repairs-and-parts

(I have no experience with either of them.)
