Austyre Sport 245 35 R19
7 reviews
Deathtrap – Recently bought a VE SSV with Austyres all round. Tread looked great until I really checked them out after I got home. Outside rears looked good, inside was showing canvas. Replaced with Pirelli Dragonsport the next day. Front tyres looked perfect 95% tread. Drove to work one day in the rain in the first week of owning the car & nearly [Word… Read more
Removed] my pants going into a roundabout. Absolutely no grip in the front & ended up in the next lane. Mind you that I was going very slowly also & being safe as I was not used to the car. Especially I was being extra cautious with 460 rwhp & not used to the car. Replaced that weekend also with Pirelli Dragonsport. Amazing tyres , expensive? Yes. Better to pay for quality than risking lives. Gave the front Austyres away to someone that has a driftcar with the promise that he will not put them on a road going car. Absolutely DANGEROUS tyres & I dont understand how on earth they are available on the Australian market. DO NOT BUY THEM. You will be risking your life & other road users.
not worth the time or money regardless – Cruizing down the highway to find my rear tyres exploded then a week later the same crap happened again was told every excuse by the importer. Hence the review of these tyres! they are farrrrrked!! stay clear of these pieces of crap!!!!! how much is your life worth??? i have since gone to goldway tyres are more grippy in wet and i don't go sideways as much.

Don't buy these tyers !!!!!!!!!!!!! – Absolutely no grip. cheapest crap around. Stay clear, you will definitely have an accident with these tyres , they had just been fitted on a 2 year old car That i boUght Replaced with Bridgestone r003 within the 1st week. Do not skimp on tyres as they are very important as it may be a life or death situation.
R U B B I S H ! – These are the worst tyres I have ever had. On a VE Commodore SV6 all I have had is spinouts and loss of traction constantly, even in the dry. I will NEVER, EVER buy these tyres again. They are not worthy of being a consumer tyre and should be taken off the market immediately
Not Recommended – Have a 4WD Subaru, currently have them on the back and they let go easily in the wet even at low speeds, still have a lot of tread left in them but will be replacing them as they are not safe enough and will be buying some more Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 Grip
Dangerous – I had these on a lowered VT Commodore with a camber kit and during a trip to the mechanic they discovered huge cracks in the inside sidewalls of the rear tyres. They were so bad the mechanic didn't want me to drive out on them. I had the rear tyres replaced and was told it was due to under inflation. On the second set I always kept an absolute… Read more
minimum 39psi, but after 20,000km the same thing happened again! Some research has found multiple cases of this happening and in some cases actually blowing out (mine were very close).
This only happened on the rear tyres, due to the camber angle. I would not recommend these tyres at all, ESPECIALLY not on any vehicle with a lot of camber. They didn't crack on the front tyres because they have much less camber.
The wet weather grip is poor. The tyres seem to be a very hard inflexible compound, as the tread last a long time but don't grip well and crack under load. If they don't crack or blow out, you can get a lot of kms out of them. Poor wet weather grip, very vulnerable to blow out
These tyres should all be burnt – These are the worst tyres I have ever had. On a VE Commodore SV6 all I have had is spinouts and loss of traction constantly, even in the dry. I will NEVER, EVER buy these tyres again. They are not worthy of being a consumer tyre and should be taken off the market immediately. I Dislike these Immensely and recommend to anyone looking at new tyres to steer clear of these. The price No grip in dry or wet; horrible tyre
