Rubber.....

- what kind do you use?

Does not have to be Run-flats as..

I'm looking for a set for my aftermarktet 16 or 17" (not deided yet) wheels. I've spoken to one retailer up here - he had some Pirelli P6000 - but they cost over $240 - each!

Anyone got any advices to offer?

Someone suggested a set of Falken tires to me... got any experience on this?

Pirelli PZero are my next tyre of choice - good in wet and dry (can wear out quick though).

Also Bridgstone S02 are also an excellent tyre or....

"Not like any normal road tyre. Grip levels generated in the dry are huge. On any proper race circuit, you can drive your A032R-shod car round the outside of any car with standard road tyres."
