If u want them really cheap get 2nd hand tyres. They have about 70%-80% tread go to Tempe Tyres.

I think they charge bout $100 a tyre. That was quoted for me 18's and width 265's

Cheap and 18's and New dont go in the same sentance.
Thats what you get with 18's.
Try BobJane they have intrest free finance.
Dont buy cheap tyres, then wonder why you have fuck all grip.
I have Pirreli P7000 and am fairly happy with those.

I paid $175 each for brand new 'Marshall' tyres - 18s + 235s from Sefton in Sydney.

I ended up getting two rear wheels for $350 fitted and balanced.

no offence NR, but id be worried if only paid that price for 18s. i can get cheap sumitomo tyres, and im sure the 17s are way over that price, let alone the 18s. hell my 16s were almost the price you paid!

be very carefull with cheaper tyres, they are cheap for a reason.

remember its the only thing holding you on the road, they are not something you should skimp on. Just pay the money and be satisfied that you are getting some grip on the road :)

So far they are holding up well, the grip is ok, no signs of major wear, I think I got a bargin. Normal price was $200 each!

The only reason I got them is because the falkans on the front still have about 6-12months left in them, also cause its my new toy, I knew that I might be drift happy for the first few months :)
