Best street tyre = Goodyear GS-D3's

Probably get them $230~ each, have to check that one.

If you dont want to compromise and pay a little more these are your tyre.

Grip like rails, queit as, last long time, look good & unique.

Beau's in Gossies have 20% off them if you mention PWRX when you phone Frank.

Stay away from Regal tyres, in the dry there average at best. But in the wet there slippery as all hell!

Potanzas are the way to go!

"TYRES"!!!... we ain't Yanks....it's "TYRES" in proper English....

Try Federal 595 RS....cheap and handle well (cos they're almost an R Spec)

Federal 595rs are a great tyre, as are the ss595 for normal street use.
