It seems I have a problem. Goodyear eale F1s haven't been made in 19" size for a long time and may never again. If anyone knows of a source for them in NZ please help. Failing that whats a good substitute that will be more easily available?

i have dunlop dz101.

these tyres are primo, i have them on 18's 225/45/18 i think?. they last very long so as long as you drive properly in them, by that i mean you aint taking corners so damn hard and fast in them or else they be worn in 6months or less.

i have had my new ones put on a few months now. still got alot of tread. first time i ever replaced them since i brought the car a year and half probably a lil less. i was suspecting this was gonna be my downfall for getting the car but im actually amazed how long they last. an these are fairly cheap too!

I had DZ101's on the front of the white leggie with GSD3's at the back, they definately had less grip than the GSD3's, especially in the wet, but they aren't a bad tyre.

i bought mine witha a set of mags,
225/45/18

about 220$ each.....

about $2800 all up....
got quoted $3500-3700 from the likes of mag and turbo/mag wharehouse etc, for the exact same mags/tyre combo

bought mine from www.wheelsonwheels.co.nz

think they've closed down?? wont hurt to call thou

dunno what you can get in the way of low, 19s thou...
not alot to choose from.

poo then. F1s @ 19" is between $400 - $500. Just really need tyre prices for now. I hope.

Can highly recommend the Falken FK452's as a cheaper alternative....especially if just for standard road use
