Tyre Comparison For Aurion Sportivo

[trentmeyer23]

Hey guys, time has come to throw a new set of tread onto our 07 Aurion Sportivo(since i got it sideways ) and I'm having a bit of trouble choosing between these three tyres:

Kumho KH25 $155

Pirelli P7 $165

MICHELIN ENERGY MXV4 $185

Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with any of these, I'm kind of leaning towards the first 2 due to price. If anyone has any input or experience with any it would really be appreciated.

KU31's from option 1 should be cheap...http://www.option1garage.com.au/

Yeah I've got the KU31's on the Camry but haven't found a listing.

for the amount thats listed for the michelins you could get some Federal 595 series tyres. maybe the SS or evo

[trentmeyer23]

I really only need these tyres for everyday use as they aren't going to be used for spirited driving, so was hoping not to pay as much as the Michelins if it could be helped.

I would believe you are searching 215/55R17's on Ebay?

You should also try searching 225/50R17 there seems to be more of a selection, and there are some sets that are cheaper.

[trentmeyer23]

Sure am, might give it a shot, in the past i have found way better deals on flea-bay then locally. ;)

Checked for the 225's not much more, and more pricey.

Pirelli P7 has some pretty good reviews compared to Kumho..

Then again, It comes down to personal choice as well. :)

What about a set of Toyo Teo Plus 225/45/R17? I purchased them at $110 a pop but I don't know wether or not you have connections to wholesale departments so retail price they can set you back $200+

[trentmeyer23]

I run 225/45/17's on my Camry, too low of a profile for the Aurion in order to keep the speedo accurate.

If you're sticking with the stock size of 215/55R17 for the Aurion then you can get Bridgestone RE001 for $205 or less from Bridgestone centres.
