Aaron still has my skid wheels so he can donate them for the cause.

For what its worth, I've had a pair of Nexens fitted to the front of my SW20, replacing Kumho KU31s. The Nexens have transformed the way car behaves, so i'm a happy camper. This is with 17 inch rims, so may not translate to what is available for 15 inch rims.

I've heard not good things about the Nexen's.
Didn't like the way I was treated when I went into the local Jax dealership a while ago, so won't go there. Pirelli's............ yeah.............. maybe when I win the Readers Digest jackpot, lol.

I've done the deal with the ebay seller for the Falken ZE912, he definitely had them in stock. He has a 100% rating. He is down your way Red. Canterbury Tyre & Mag. Said they will leave today. I'll get them delivered to Ansen's. So will have them before Christmas. :)

I run Falken ZE912 on the front and rear since I have gone back to stock wheels. I have done about 6000km on the tyres and they are fine for daily driving activities.

Thanks :)

Drive down to Canterbury. save the freight and he fits and balances for $15 a tyre
SORRY Just noticed it was Canterbury in Melbourne

Shaz, solve your issues by getting some Toyo R888's ;)

Shaz $25 per wheel fitment/balance is a rip off, should be more like $10 of $15. He will probably say thats because he is not making a profit on the tyres he didnt supply, but its not your fault that he didnt stock them.

A couple of the Vic MR2 Club members run 225/50R15 Falken ZE912 on the rear of their sdubs, and they say they are not too bad.
As for the Hankook 457's, I just checked out reviews of them on several sites (in the US and locally) but could not find the critical 225/50R15 size listed.

I also note that the Jax website has Nexen 225/50R15's for $135 ea, but I don't know if they are any good
They also list 225/50R15 Pirrelli's for $339 ea (gasp).
Somebody told me that they sell those to owners of early model Lambo's and Ferrari's.

Looked at the reviews for the Hankook & the majority of reviews were good both in the dry & more importantly in the wet. So I had decided to go with them. Called in while I was out & when they had called their supplier, they aren't a size that comes into the country........... ggrrrr. Wish people would check that type of thing before saying they can get them. I mentioned the Falken's, so he had a look while I was there & called the supplier. They had only 1. I said I could buy 2 from an ebay supplier, so he said, he would fit & balance them for $25 each and $59 for an alignment.

So I've decided I will do that. Just hope that when I hit the "Buy now" button, they do actually have the correct size in stock.
