Title: Tyres - mag wheels Post by: paddockbasher on March 31, 2005, 10:14:40 AM As my Fc Ute inches closer to roadworthiness/registration ( so close that I can taste it!) I could use some advice regarding tyres.
It has mag wheels currently running B F Goodrich 215/50 x 13. I have a spare set of Goodyear 205/60 x 13 and also 4 original rims with basic radial tyres 165 X 13? I require either 2 new BFG 215/50 X 13 (which don't seem to be very cheap) or to change to the Good Years. Has anyone run these two different tyre sizes and got any advice/experience to share. I am reluctant to go to the standard rims as subjectively I prefer the look of the wider rims. Thanks Title: Re: Tyres - mag wheels Post by: Sarge on April 01, 2005, 07:05:38 PM Personaly I am not a fan of either But I would never have BF Goodrich on any car that I drive.
So I would have to say Goodyear is the lessor of two evils. Emus car Hilda needed tryes and we fitted Brigdestone RE92 205 x 65 x 13 Price was about $120ea and not a bad trye either. Cheers Sarge Title: Re: Tyres - mag wheels Post by: paddockbasher on April 01, 2005, 08:15:14 PM Thanks Sarge
I was quoted $200 a tyre for BFG so the Bridgestone option is a worthy alternative!

They are a good tyre for the price. If I was going wide I would look at all the brands.
