Bought these again for the ute which is cammed, otr, exhaust, higgins heads, 3.9 diff gears with 387rwkw with staggered Simmons....
Of course any V8 will light these bad boys up but i paid AUD$90 each and they are awesome in the dry. Any car putting out big power will drift easy in the wet. Nice and quiet and much better than the Federal 595's they replaced.
Read comments that some people have bad handing in wet, maybe slow down. Also comments of poor wear and noise. Maybe its the tyre mob who fit them because mine are awesome.
Happily buy again.

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Excellent bang for buck.
Excellent bang for buck.
Had these tyres on my ve commodore ute, for approximatly 50km
Were by far the worst tyres I have ever used. Drove straight back
to the tyre shop and replaced them. My rear end at speed was swaying
like an overloaded tray back ute.

These replaced Hankooks which had good and pregressive wet grip and were put on by the garage as an "equal." They are not. In the dry, they are not too bad but it is too easy move the back end (without trying.) I have been avoiding using the car in the wet (prefering to drive a Fiat Doblo diesel which says it all,) as grip is so-so in a straight line and lateral grip is non-existant. The back steps out no matter how careful you are and, if the back goes too fast, the front will break too - which just never happens on this car. Only 4,000 miles but they will be dumped. Dangerous rubbish.
