It's a good offer, my pick would be PS4 for a daily or PS4S for track use.

Time for new tyres for my BP5. There's not a lot of choice in the stock 215/45/17 size. Thinking I might give the Zetum ZU37 a go since they're such a good price.

Considered one of the daily-driving-minded options from Bridgestone / Firestone, like Dayton?

They will be sweet for a BP5. Plenty of grip and no squealing.

I've also heard that they're a perfectly acceptable daily tyre. I'll be trying them when i need to replace what's on my BLE. Try Burkes Tyres Kilburne.

I have them on a BP5 and a WRX... they are more than enough for the BP5... and fine for the WRX if you drive thoughtfully, i.e. don't expect miracles

from them.

I have Zetums on my BL 3.0R, seem fine, and there's TZ700s on the Mrs BM 2.5, again seem fine, and quiet on the chip seal.

Yeah my biggest concern with cheaper tyres is how much noise they're going to make and how comfortable they'll be. Good to know the zetums don't seem to have that issue.

I actually have Dayton DT30's on there already (from when I bought it). They're pretty crappy. Also the Zetums are $15 less.
