Best tires recommendation?

Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Re: Best tires recommendation?

I havent had the time and money to get the tires yet but will have to do so soon. I think im justing going to go with my first choice, the GT Radial ones, because i will only be using them for winters and I did some research and heard good and bad just like you would for most other tires.
For the price of the tires and for the time i'll be using them, i think its a match for me right now.

See for yourself-
Here is a site about the GT Radial: http://www.tyres4u.com.au/brandselector ... _show.aspx

Where are 4AS? Can't find them on the Yok Site.

Treadwear ratings don't mean much tho...
