Tyres

Thanks for the reply/info.

Yes, 14" rim is a difficult size to get good tyres. Obviously changing to 15" would be best, however, I like the standard daisy rim.

Cheers

Kumho or Hankook tyres??? Feedback wanted

Wanting some feedback on tyres.
185/60/14

Looking at Kumho KH19ECO and Hankook K426

Anybody got any experience with these tyres?
I have read some online write ups, but they were less than complementary! They were from overseas websites.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Reprinting NA

Yeah. Sweet

My soft top is worn anyway. I was going to remove that.

Doors, left on?

Repaint

Sweet.

I have heard of other people doing it for less, like $2500!
However, I have not seen the cars, maybe a low quality job!

I guess, good things are not cheap and cheap things are not good.

Repainting the NA

I have a tidy RED NA. It needs repainting. Has anybody done this lately? I got a rough estimate last week of $4000 plus GST. Engine in repaint. Not sure if that is a reasonable price. Can anybody recommend a car painter? Do you leave soft top attached during the repaint process? I live in Akl. This ...

NC tyre choice. RE003's?

I know this has probably been discussed before, however, I have recently acquired a 2005 NC. Fitted with 16" rims. Tyres are nearly done. Presently has RE11's fitted. A very good tyre I am told. Looking at replacing with maybe RE003's or MY02's. I had MY02's fitted to my NB. Stuck to the road nicely...

Tyres or suspension on my NA?

Hi guys. We are thinking of changing tyres on our 89 NA because we have somebody roll, tail action! Wondering if it is suspension or tyres? Any ideas, help, before I make my way to a 'shop' and spend money unnecessarily. Still running on factory 'daisy' rims. 185/60/14. Looking for something with a ...
