tyres

[dredman1]

Just a heads up. Been using sumitomo htr z3 225/45/17 for some months now. Great summer tyre for the price. Excellent in the rain up to 160 kph. No complaints up to speeds 200+ in the dry. Tyre noise after halfway point of treadwear is not much higher than new and not easily noticeable. All for $875 per tyre it's a great replacement for factory summer tyres that are more expensive. Used these to replace Bridgestone potenza re050 225/45/17.

i concur. I've had the Z3 on my car for about 13 months now and I'm really impressed with them, esp for the price.
Grip, wear, & hydroplane resistance are all higher than average.
If you're looking for a dedicated summer
tyre, given our limited options locally, I'd definitely recommend them.

Where did you all get the sumitomo htr z3 to buy?

Need a pair of 205 55 15 tomorrow.

Leaning towards the kumho from MM but I have used Dunlop dz101 on my 17's and they worked well.
Anyone know what's the price off hand for the Dunlop's and where sells them and what other options I have?

[de_dougla_smurf]

225-45-R17 Kumho Solus

$1075 each.

What are my options tuners?

[Dave]

Solus is just a regular tyre. Don't be trying anything with them.

[de_dougla_smurf]

I wanted Ecsta, said they didnt have any available in that size.

[X_Factor]

if its the solus KR21, dont even try to take a corner too fast

[yakuza]

Recently tried Toyo DRB, IMO it works as good as the T1R, perhaps even better.
Plus the tread-ware is higher.

[CD4Accord]

Just bought some Kumho Solus KH17 in Jamaica 225/60/16 for $12,000 JMD each. aka 715TT each.
How much so would that run back in Trinidad?

PS. All the other brands such as Maxxis etc were more than the Kumho

Please allow me to re-iterate, all season tyres are not for our climate. We do not have snow.

Wet and dry season are not ALL seasons.

Currently using some Sailun Attrezo SH402 195/60/14 tyres
They are the worst tyres i have ever used. any aggression with the accelerator results in tyre squeal. cornering results in squeal. if i shift into second with any aggression results in chirping tyres. I thought the dunlop sp sport 702 was the worst tyre i ever used until i used these tyres. Straight line and Lateral traction are non existent. I have been afraid to test their braking ability so i have been driving around at about 70-80 kmph everywhere

recap
avoid these tyres like the plague
no traction and noisy

[yakuza]

Sailun is d official local "driff" tyres.
