I never skimp on tyres. It's the same as buying a cheap helmet.

not sure what the aussie aftermarket looks like, but 90% of what you get in an RTR can easily be added on later for cheaper, the other 10% is the RTR badge and Vaughns signature

Thanks for the reply.
I had the same impression checking some aftermarket parts in the past couple of days.
I will start installing Ford Performance lowering springs, and then I’ll see what’s around.
