Needing front tyres for my 335, Potenza's. RFT's 225/45/17

Minty's have Bridgestone's RE050 at R1649 in that size.

R1649 is a very good price - just make sure that they rating (i.e. W / Y) is too the spec you require....

Got quoted R3100 ea from Tyre Tube
R3150 ea from HIQ
Minty's R1749,

Whats the higher rating Y?
Can the rating double a tyre price???

Z is the highest - usually reserved for serious sports cars... Y is just behind it with a max speed rating (1 hour use) of 300km/h. W @ 270km/h and V @ 240km/h.

I got the Potenza V's and there great.

I would think from R to Y rate yes, but not at the end of the alphabetical
scale. The difference between V and W was R500 per tyre...

V is fine for me, I have only twiced topped out my car to max, GPS 257km/h, dont see me doing it very often.

Thanks Jiggy
