wow rubber.....

yours 19" ah...so power.

There are many brands around man. Durex...Madonna....Vivid...There are also some Jap specs one like Okamoto.

they are all rather quiet....good grip in all conditions. Some of them have pretty good grips as they are ribbed.

And since you no experience using rubber...be safe not sorry ok. Use something that can last longer ok.

I have seen very good reviews on Michelin PS2 and Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3... Michelins are pricey but dunno abt goodyear.

What rims are you getting? Has to be BLING right?

his coming rims are Veilside Andrew Bacarrat. Ultimate bling!!!!

as for rubbers, DUrex is the best thus far......

OK, jokes aside, budget conscious will opt for Yokohama Advan neova ad07. Bridgestone S03 are pretty good too. If u have a large pocket, which u definitely have, opt for fab8's recomendation. Very good tires. But be reminded that u r paying a premium price for michelin's advertisement in F1 grandprix.....

Thanx for not getting distracted by my usual nonsense (although ladies - the 19" is for REAL! )

May go for the Michelin - then me can get a sticker of that marshmellow fella

Hope the rubber lasts - my present set lasted over 2 years now

As for the rims, our resident "Black Knight" has, as always, his way of getting the low-down on things. And yes, it will be

If IT is really 19" .... i think not only the ladies would like to see, even the guys would like to as well.

Michelin PS2 is the one to go for (i'm getting that too) ... $600 ++ for 1 tyre

You are also joining the another black knight with all your bling bling.

Yo NB, can share how much those wheels are costing you? I love those rims too... but m not as bold as you, would love to just settle for the silver ones. Are those all in 2 piece rim?

As for rubbers, you might wanna check out the new Falken RT615. Those looks really tasty, not sure if they are available in 19" though...

U quite the brave man yourself! It's not about bold, it's all about
