Well I just spoke to the dealers in Dubai, and they told me there is a distributor in Saudi but they "supposedly" don't have any of their contact information, no name no number nothing. I think they just don't want to give it to me because they'd rather I buy it off them. I have some guy at work who I asked to try and find out who's the distributor here. Once he gets back to me I'll update you guys on prices.

 

Well i've googled a bit and found this

Theres a contact no for a dealer in Jeddah. Check em out.

 

Hey thanks for the info, I actually found them earlier on today but wasn't sure if they were the distributors because I'm actually good friends with "Al-Esayi" group so maybe I'd be able to get a special price if it is them. Thanks for the help

 

Just spoke to them, can you believe they only have Invo's in 225/45 R18 and no other sizes apart from that. I asked him how long it'll take to order a set for my car (F:225/50 R18 and R:245/45 R18) he said 3 months!!!! I can order a set and have them here in a matter of two weeks. I think I'll be getting them from UAE, but I'll confirm once I've ordered.

 

Damn Maz 3 months for what?

Check with dubai and if they're able to ship em to saudi, and or any other GCC country. If so thats much better than waiting 3 months or more for 4 sets of tires. Thats totally stupid.

I'm still on with my research i'll let you know!

 

Yeah I know man, I had a go at the guy and told him what's to stop me from getting it from Dubai, and he said it'll cost a bit more, and I said yeah but at least I'll have fresh tires I could safely drive in rather than risk my life for the next 3 months waiting for them to arrive.

HELL I can get them here sooner from the states

You'll be happy with the Invo's. A nice, comfortable, smooth bidirectional tire. They stay glued to the road. I threw 2 on the front of my coupe and I'm waiting for my T1R's on the rear to go. I can't wait until I put the Invo's on the rear.

 

Anyone seen any review/tests on the Sessanta?
Was thinking of going with FK452s or Hankook V12 Evo, but now I'm not sure
I want something suitable for DD as well as 2-3 HPDEs a year.

 

Just went from FK452 to Sessenta's. Have about 50 miles so far. They are quieter and seem to stick well. Time will tell.

They are on Coupe 19" Rims (Rays) - 245-40-19 front 255-40-19 rear

The FK452 were much louder than the stock potenza RE050

 

When i was looking for a replacement for my 452's, i read countless threads, reviews and opinions on the V12. Along the way i found several comparisons to the Sessanta's.

Generally speaking, the Sessanta's are good for DD, but people who have tracked them were not impressed. The Sessanta's doesn't seem to like high temperatures much.

I have the V12's now, but it's too early to make any relevant conclusions of its performance. Also, unlike the 452's, i have yet to track these.

 

I just picked up a pair of 245x20 452s for $260 installed. Not bad if you plan on burning through them! Other brands/models are also available. Dunno how much it would cost to ship tires though.

 

Maz, there's a shop in Kuwait that sells a lot of Nitto's, M/T slicks and other high performance tires. i think they're called Sound Performance.
I don't know if they have the tires ready in a warehouse or not, but if you're interested, I can get you a phone number and you can talk to them

BTW, I got a set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 245 and 275 19" for approx $600 installed. These stick to the road much more than the stock tires, but the sidewalls feel a bit soft. i bumped up the air pressure to from 32psi F/R to 35psi front and 40psi rear and they feel much more solid now. My next set of tires will definitely be Nitto's

 

3) BF Goodrich G-Force

best tire ive had on my car bar none for traction. the ps2's will have a bit less noise and cost a bit more.

 

Go with the BFG GForce KDW New Tread. No dissapointments here, best bang for your buck. The PS2's are a waste of money, and they'll last you maybe 4 months.
