    Thumbs up Haida Tyres from ETyreStore

    I thought I might do a post on these tyres has I have had some inquiries from some members....

    I have one word 'BRILLIANT' these tyres were given a work out on my last cruise with (Grajy) 2 sundays ago through MTNebo up to Kenilworth through Mt Mee rd and the grip in the dry were miles ahead of the Falkens FK452, in the rain patches on the day I didn't push to hard because of the roads but did some quick roundabout try outs in the wet at some speed and keeping within my lines held on quite well,I feel there getting quieter after 3000k's for $95ea plus fitting and balancing that's all I would buy for what I need and that's coming from someone who has spent between $850 to $400 on ea tyre for the last 10 years until i bought the Falkens for $220ea, and thought they were shit from day one.
    I must admit when my brother bought these for a xmas present I had butterflies the day I was getting them fitted (never owned cheap tyres for 20 plus years) what was i getting myself into.... Grajy will tell you if you want a 2nd option I left him chasing a bike through the twisters through Mt Mee and they just stuck to the road without a inch of slide...... I was hoping to give them a shot on the track but after dropping a wheel in a wash out at some speed on the cruise with Grajy I buckled the rim and took a chunk out of the tyre so I never got the chance to try them on the track but if they gripped like the did on the cruise and if anyone has put their std tyres on the track for track days these tyres will be brilliant for track days over your OEM tyres,and not to mention the impact on the tyre when I hit the pothole and the tyre to hold up and the only reason the wheel is off is because of the buckle which has a slow leak only when rolling but stops leaking when stationary.

    Adam Coleman is the guy just tell him your from the club and you have spoken to me http://www.etyrestore.com.au/, I told him i would do a write up when I did some tests on the tyres, tyres are pretty cheap I doubt we will be able to get better prices who knows down the track..

    I hope this helps....

    Cheers
    Rino

    So you rate these?

    I need 4 tyres.

    Was looking at other brands at $250+ /corner.

    Never heard of Haida.

    Dan I was concerned at first, I've had these since the 31st of December and are great for everyday use and had some wet runs in them without being stupid.

    • Grip was great going through tight roundabouts at normal speed staying within my lines not like everyone else cutting through in the wet .
    • No aquaplaning through water paddles drove right through it without a movement in the steering or car... (Shocked) at this stage I'm thinking to myself what great value for $95 plus fitting
    • I would even say that these were just as good as the bridgestones the car come with and leaves the Falkens for dead Dan.. I was just so impressed for the price.
    • Summary for less than the price of 1 to 2 tyres where can you go wrong for everyday use and the occasionally fun i would rate it 11/10 for the price and grip for everyday use.
    I know some people go to extreme and stupid mode and some people lack experience in driving skills,so in saying that most people know there limit to what a car can do and I push to the limits to what I feel is sensible to conditions and these tyres did what I wanted them to do when required and there will be some members who have been with me on track and other occassions that I depend more on my gear changes and the grip from the tyres from my standard suspension set up rather then braking and wearing brakes out . Look they wont replace the Yokohama's AD08 and S-Drives but for everyday use and a little fun to your limitations. BRILLIANT is the only word I can use Dan.. Everyone has different driving skills and lines and maybe need a better tyre to compensate their driving habits or lack of knowledge

    Also for Interstate members, ETyres is a Online store so most of its sales are ebay and internet driven to save 2 to 3 middle man profits hence pricing....

    Hows the wear going on them...?

    So far pretty good the scrubbing look better on my car then it did on Grajy's tyres on the day he will vouch for that... Jon will also tell you how rapped I was with the tyres on the day even when it copped a visious pot hole thump at speed and survived.

    Seems to me like they are doing what many companies have done successfully in the past.
    Come into the new market, sell cheap and get the reputation built up.

    I know I've had cheap tyres that were really good, now, the same tyres are much dearer and not assumed as crap anymore.
