I thought I would post about a bit of a bargain I scored on Friday. I bought 4 Goodyear Eagle F1's (235/45ZR17) for $700. Hows that! What do they retail for? I was buying on behalf of a friend though, as I don't have 17's on the old girl.
As a hypothetical, what do you guys think of 300ZX stock 16" rims. A work colleague has a set on hand with tyres and I was thinking of whacking them on the XF for a laugh (offset issues aside)? |

The tyres were brand spankers. Good stuff I suppose.

I think you probably did OK. I bought a set of those about three years ago for my AU and I think they retailed for around $250 each. At the time they won the "Motor performance tyre of the year" comparo. The ones I bought were German made. They had phenomenal grip in the wet but the trade off was they wore out in 25,000 km (normal driving). |

they are definately over 200 per tyre and are on many performance oriented cars as standard.

I bought 4 x Goodyear SP3000a 235/45/17 for $500 - Brand Spanking NEW
You can get these good deals as Goodyear give a set of 4 Tyres to some of their employees each year or something and then the employees sell them to make some extra cash........

Seeing as you got them twice that would be $1200.00.
