Hi,

A bad wheel alignment has killed my tyres, so I'm looking for a quick recommendation. Wanting something that will be an all year, all round tyre and I value grip in the wet.

Previous tyres were Kuhmo KU39 and they were pretty decent.

Happy to pay more for good quality.

VE 19" 245

I have Bridgestone re003 tyres on my Redline and my vh. Excellent handling, wear rate is not too bad. Bit dear but well worth the money.

Thanks.

Spewing I can't find anyone selling new redline staggered wheels and tyres. A couple years ago when they were still selling commodores there were heaps on the market.

I was going to recommend KU39 before clicking on your thread, they are hard to beat.

I have tried a bunch of others including falken, nitto, hancook, brisgestones.... nittos are quite good. Hancook good but pricey. Falken are junk. Bridgestone way over priced but OK, terrible after 70% worn. Kumhos are my favourite all rounder considering wear, grip, price, noise, rim protection.

Michelin Pilot Sports? I'd say the PS4S but I don't think they come in a 245/40R19
The HSV guys love them compared to the standard Conti's

The HSV guys love them compared to the standard Conti'sOne of the boys just put Michelin PS4S on his E2 Senator. Factory 19s up front. $350-ish each from memory.

+1 for the KU39 though. $200 through St George or Tempe. I know KMart price match here in NSW/ACT.

I have them on my senator.
Wanted the PS4S but had to settle on the std PS4 and they have been great both dry, wet and greasy.
