Tyres are specced as 225/40R18 92W. Front wheels are Pirelli Cinturato P1, rear wheels are Dunlop Sport Maxx. Rears are worn out and need replacing before passing rego check, will just get some more Pirelli P1 replacements for now. When I do the front I'll get some P-Zero tyres maybe. Tuffy up the road are quoting $265 to replace each tyre, material and labour all included (not sure about GST). == Brakes == Front brakes are squealing and might need the pads aligned, mechanic is also going to check the rotors as they may need machining. Quoted $218 for replacement Brembo parts (better than $300 for Alfa parts), plus service and labour, comes to almost exactly $400. Need to confirm exactly what work that is, just front set?
