Hey SC

Do you reckon $350 for a set of wrx 17's with only one good tyre is a good deal? 

very little gutter rash. 

 

I was thinking more around the $250-300 mark, with crap tyres on it.

Overpriced. Offer him $200, He'll punch back with $300, You'll punch back with $250 firm because there is cheaper out there. And if he doesn't accept that, Hang up the phone.

Seems like a good deal to me.
A few years ago I sold just 1 rim for $200.

[Barbbachello]

I paid 400 for 4 with brand new achilles tyres. So anywhere between 400 - 700 with good rubber is what ive seen. Id say 250 - 300 for basically rims only is a good deal

The ad is very recent so ill let him go for a bit, save up some money and then make an offer. I thought he might have wanted a bit much.

 

Plus ill be looking at what? 500 bucks for a set of good tyres

That's a really good deal for new tyres on it

They were advertised for 500, offered him 450 then he said take em for 400 lol. Must've really wanted to get rid of them

 

That being said achilles arent amazing tyres but ive had no issues with them

[Ben_20EJT]

I picked up a set of factory jdm gold ones with good semi slicks on them for about the 250 mark.

$350 is a bit rich. Definitely under $300 with crap tyres.

Minimum for a good set....yeah I wouldn't pay much more than 250 for the wheels

[Robert]

I just found some brand new ku31's for
105 each, tempted to jump on that offer before I even get the rims.

What size are the KU31's?

[Robert]

Ad says 215/45 r17 91w

If its all legit and the tyres are from 2013, I think that's an excellent deal

[Harry88]

Perfect size for those wheels.

[Robert]

Is that the general size for subaru 17's?

If I brought those tyres I don't want to be stuck with them if I changed my mind on the rims I wanted. Still will be subaru 17 inch wheels though

Correct. I have 215/45/17 on my WRX wheels.

 

From memory thats the general size for Subaru 17's

[Cam.]

For impreza and liberty it is.

You get a bigger profile on forester and obk.

[Robert]

Thanks Cam, Ill only be looking at lib and impreza wheels anyway.

Which tyre is better ku31,ku36 ku39

In terms of dry, wet Peformance.

[WALKER]

I have KU39's and I think they're awesome.

Jump onto Kumho's website, you can find all the information there. 

 

Though, it's pretty much as follows

 

GRIP. (1 being the grippiest) 

1. KU36

2. KU39

3. KU31

 

LIFE (1 having the longest life)

1. KU31

2. KU39

3. KU31

 

I think the KU36's would be overkill for yourself. (including for me as well)

Use http://www.stgeorgetyres.com.au as your pricing guide. (have your local tyre reseller price match)

You won't find a better price.

 

Eg. KU31's you found for $105

 

St George have them for $101 (in your size)

Yea sounds like st George tyres has the best prices
