Tires - Just picked up the Advans

Just picked up the wheels with the Advans installed. Stock OEM 20" sizes of 315/35 and 275/40-20.

Stacked up all 4 high, advans and Diamaris side by side, the Advans were about 1.5-2" taller than the Diamaris. So, even though spec for spec, the Advans are slightly wider fwiw.

My wrench told me they have seen some makes where even though the sizes are the same, sizes are just slightly larger or smaller.

Got my Advans at the Rack also you will definitely love the way they ride...I absolutely positively prefer them over the Michies.

Hi Guys,
Am also about to buy a set of Avans, no Tirerack in Oz unfortunately, so will probably pay too much. Would like to know if they are quiet at speed. I am replacing my original Bridgestone Turanzas at 52000km, and even now they are extremely quiet.
Thanks Colin.

Hi fatboyoz,

I am probably too late to help with your purchase of the Advans, but I just bought 4 tyres from tirerack, delivered within 5 days (!!) to my garage (and stacked !!) for about half the price I was being quoted by Sydney tyre retailers. Fitting was $15 per tyre.

This won't last; the A$ / US$ exchange rate is currently in our favour, but the bigger issue is that when word gets back to the Australian distributors they will simply threaten to stop selling their tyres to tirerack and I would expect that tirerack will oblige and stop mailing tyres outside US. We need a global ACCC or a good lawyer!

Great service from tirerack.com; crap from the Aussie distributors.

The rat.
