im in need of a pair of cheap quality 14" tyres. i know those two words shouldnt be used in the same sentence but meh.

second hand i dont mind as long theres some good tread left on them. preferably some re001 bridgestones people want to throw away lol. 185/60 size no off road mud tyre specs.

im cheap so cant afford new. just anywhere where i can pick some up cheap/free. i hate understeering.

im in melbourne. contact by pm or post here.

explain

LOL! a little exaggerated but yeah... :F:

most of the tyres at the piles are shit anyway. i need something to run up front. sure i can change my driving style to suit but fu*k i hate understeering when im just driving normal.

im sick of understeering into unexpected pedestrians and babies walking around.

1) slow the fuck down

2) new 185/60 non retread run of the mill tyres are around $80-90 each fitted.


front tyres do the steering but also the braking. if they are as bad as you say they are then buy new ones, put the old ones on the back. check wheel alignment as that doesnt sound healthy. also your not running like 40 psi in them? i run about 30~32 for daily driving/fuel economy in the front. for max braking needs 28, but you then have more of an issue with tyre roll.

understeering only happens when its wet. just to used to my old re001 bridgestones. if i was understeering in the dry then yeah id be rethinking about what im doing on the roads. i could kill someone.
my tyre pressure is at 32psi. and i will be picking up some tyres soon. just waiting for pay to come in a few more times.
