20 Inch Tyre Recommendations

[Thorby]

Morning Lads,

What tyres are you guys running on a 20 inch rim? Need something decent both wet and dry, don't want to have to sell a kidney for 4.

Cheers
Thorby

Potenza RE050A

That’s for if you lean in the direction of performance, don’t mind replacing them slightly more often than average, and aren’t made of $$ innit?
I’m sure I’ve read that people rate them better than the Michelin Pilot Sport 4; not as highly as the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S (although the 4S costs ~20% more)?

It may depend on what’s for sale at the moment too, the RE050A’s look like even better value when the 4-for-the-price-of-3 sale is on, and that sale seems to happen twice a year ...

I got 35 000km out of my last set.
They cost about the same as PS4 but ocassional deals make them even better value.

Pirelli Dragonsport.....approaching 35k kms on them and plenty of life left.

Good wet & dry with low noise levels.

Potenza RE05A

What size are you running mate?

I have the Potenza re003, 245/35r20 fronts, 275/30r20 rears and they are the best tyres I've had, so much confidence in the wet and as much as tyres can look good, they are pleasing to the eye.

The worst part about them is they hurt my pocket.

That's what we were thinking, seems no one has any stock at the moment.

I just replaced the original bridgestones with a set of Pilot Sport 4S on my 19 inch rims. I could not be happier, just did a 2000k road trip and they were fantastic. The best price I could get was $349 each. Size 245/40/19

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx, 255/35 on front and 275/35 on rear of my R8, good performance, wet, dry and braking and didn't break the bank.
