you need to check the speed rating of the tyres ... AT tyres top speed range from 120km/hr - 140km/hr only ... depending on the tyre manufacturer ... some may get up to 180km/hr although i have yet to see one myself ... best is to get the ZR rated speed rating tyres ... it can achieve stability of speeds in excess of 240km/hr ... if in doubt ... get the same tyres as sportage72 ... last heard to achieve stable cornering speeds of XXXkm/hr ...

I am also thinking of changing my tyres. So fast, already 1.5 years already. Hope Cedric or Bernard gives some feedback on their tyres performance. Sebbie, Dueler H/P D680 is definitely worth the $$ spent, no more tire spins in the rain. Going into a turn is more confident now. Quieter too. Not too sure about aquaplaning yet, rain these few days not heavy enough to create water ponding... Best of all, fuel comsumption improved. And it doesn't not look skinny at all, bcos it was "upsized" from 60 to 70.

Just changed my tires to Falken 452 (235/60R16) over the weekend at $175/pc. I love the grooves and the review was quite good (dry and wet grip). You might want to check this out. Regards,

I changed my tires in Nov this year for the Continental Premium Contact2. Thus far the tires have been excellent and on my recent trip to Malaysia, the control is good. Although it was raining heavily. I was able maintain a speed of 100-120km/hr due to its excellent wet gripping
No doubt the tires are expensive, cost me $350 each, but as I drives regularly to Malaysia for holidays, I find it a worthwhile investment
