sava intensa ? how much did u get those for dude ? how do they go in the dry... wat is the speed rating ?

well they're a ZR 17 so that's a good sign, speed rating wise. i think in brisbane they're about 170 a tyre...

i have the savas too, quite happpy with them althought only previously had the nangkangs on the 17s before that. i paid like 179 each

In the dry they are also good. I have to struggle now to loose the back from standing still ( really floor it ) ; where as before I was skidding all over the place. But again the tyres are wider and wheels are heavier and this could also be the reason. Can't remember how much the tyres alone were ; as I bought them new with the alloys. Under 180 anyway as the whole package was 1400 Cheers

Bob Jane has Sava Intensa' for $129 for 16' and I think they are awsome tyres for the money. The dude at bob's told me they were made by Goodyear. The other day I went to buy 2 more sava tyres and they had run out so he gave me 2 x Goodyear Eagle Venturas worth $219 each for $129 each. Maybe my wifes cleavage had something to do with it!

Change your tyres. I've got Goodyear eagle F1's 225/45/17. They handle fine in wet and dry. Heres a quick solution to stop understeer...just enter the corner slowly, than midway through the corner put your foot down. Result = Oversteer... (everyone loves a bit of sideways action)!!

I was at pedders yesterday to get a few things looked at. Ended up being the bump stop had deteriorated on the front right shock and they are working slightly uneven. Nothing to worry about though, the guy that served me also drives a vl and he said definately don't go nolathane bushes. Saying it will make it bumpier, and longer breaking distances etc.

Do yourselves a favor and dont go see that Pedders branch if thats what the guy said. uneven bumpstops, lol
