I would tend to disagree on the best deal part. Please shop around a little bit, try General tyres on JC road for example. I exchanged my Bridgestones for Synchrones at Performance Club. Unfortunately, I do not remember the exact details. What I do remember is: the deal was much better than Sai Iyengar.

1. Make sure your rim size is well matched.
2. Please read the section on contact patches and grip at:
Car Bibles : The Wheel and Tyre Bible Page 2 of 2
