Tyres Again

[Geoff Watkins]

Hi All
Help Please
My 1998 NZ NEW New Shape MX5 Tyres are Michelin SX-GT Pilot
195/50 82V have done 33000km with 5mm tread to go
What tyres should I replace it with??
Saw Eagles at Beaurepaires at $215 but the new Michelin,s are $350 each
How long KM do I expect to get until I get to WOF Standard??
What do you Guys suggest I get??

Kind Regards
Geoff
MX5 98

Geoff - most new tyres come with around 7mm tread, and
the WOF minimum is 1.5mm . Sounds like you've got a
lot of driving to do on those yet !!

cheers,
Jeff

Sounds like you've got 15 - 20,000 km's to go, legal depth is 1.5 mm. Good
tyres are expensive, cheap tyres perform cheaply. Which do you want? Call Leon
at Marshall Tyres 524 5500, if in Auck, price a set of Michelin MXF Sports, I
paid $1200 fitted, balanced and aligned 18 months ago or you might consider
Barums at the cheaper end, reports have been good so far. I'm putting a set on
my work car.
