Road Tyre Recommendations?

[V AR 164]

Hi all,

Have a set of RE002's on my q for sometime now and love them. Considering buying some RE003's but am wanting some opinions.

Just after a good all round tyre but with more emphasis on the sporty characteristics as I do enjoy a spirited drive every once in a while. Not really wanting to spend more than $200 per tyre.

Cheers, Andrew.

Are you running 15s, 16s or 17s?

156 wheels. 17' by 7' wide. Currently have a 215/45/17 tyre.

Shame you're not running 235/45/17 rubber as there's lots of choice due to it being the tyre on many sporty Fords.

Many people on here have in the past recommended Continental MaxContact MC5 tyres. They have just released the newer MC6 and Bob Jane has the 215/45 R17 on sale at the moment at $139 fitted.

they seem a bargain to me. Am about to put a full set on my 156 wagon.

I've got Conti MC5s on my 156 (fitted a few months back) and have no complaints. Same size too  - 215/45 R17
