Hi all. The C30 is in desperate need of new tyres size 215-45-18. I want something that's good in the wet and fairly quiet. I see Continental MaxContact 6 at Jax for $219 each fitted and balanced, but I've never had Contis before. I've had good luck with Pirelli and they have Dragon Sport on sale for $245 each plus $80 cash back. Anyone have other good options that won't break the bank? I prob can get these cheaper via eBay or Gumtree but I don't really want to drive across Melb and would prefer to get them fitted in Ballarat.
Long story short the cheap Federal Formosa tyres put on by previous owner just before we bought the car about 6 yrs were getting fairly noisy. We thought it was rears due to the excessive negative camber, but both fronts have a local bulge on inner sidewall and adjacent split in tread with steel belt visible. Oops! Tyres looked fine from outside on the ground. Only noticed when I put it up on the hoist this morning. Will not be driving the car until I get the new tyres fitted on the wheels obviously.
