Title: 147 Tyres and exhaust recommendations
Post by: tony8028 on July 30, 2012, 02:07:46 PM
I was wondering whether anyone could recommend some tyres for me 147 that offer good value and performance?

Also, was considering a new exhaust just to add a bit of noise and fun to the car...i miss the old snoot of my 33...any recommendations? Not looking for anything that looks totally out of place ....

I was looking at selling this car but they are almost worth nothing on the secondhand market so will keep and have some fun with it.

I have Pirelli P7's on my 147, and they are a nice tire good grip particularly in wet weather and good wear life.

I think I paid $170ish.

Yep I put P7's on the front for my drive to Tassie and they are great.

Have an afternmarket muffler as well.

sounds dumb but if in melbs, check out costco! very cheap decent brands - fitted... lifetime puncture repairs FOC...


i dunno about 205x55/16s but i saw michi ps3s there in 215x45/17 for $189ea - fitted.

anyway - a couple of good tyres to choose from...

cheap but decent exhaust - check out a csc back box! alfastumper and alfisti stock em...
