409 Tyres for Australia
My 409 without power steering is currently fitted with 4 Falkenberg 175/80 x 16 radials. The spare is a 600 x 16 Avon Turbo speed, the original fitement choice I believe.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a tyre that might be available in Australia, give optimum handling and not affect the gearing too much please? Thanks |

Hello,
I fully agree with Greg. I am using these on my 409 and they are really excellent, with a good price as well. I don't know if Vredesteins are available in Australia; if they aren't, the Avon Turbospeeds are more 'original', quiet and would put less effort on the steering, but their performance is clearly inferior.

Hi,
I have put on a set of Michelin X 6x600 which were in period. I have no power steering on my 407. It has improved the ride, tyre noise and low speed manoeuvring. They are radials and sold in UK by specialists like Longstone Tyres. I would be surprised if they were not exported. But then life is full of surprises!
