Hey guys. I have the fedral brand tyres on the rear which are 255/40/r17. They cost me $175 brand new fitted. They seem to be okay. Good grip etc. I am not sure how long i will get out of them though. They were the cheapest i could find round my area. Got them from lillydale.

Nice tread design on them.. bit out of my price range though.

Yeah mate i wouldnt by them brand new a bit pricey, very lucky to find them at $85 each. Just keep an eye out for seconds some places have them just fortunate enough there is a guy in Brisbane who deals in second 17,18,19 and 20" tyres.

i have the same tyres on the rear of my car atm similar price aswell.

i have nankangs on the fronts.

they seem to grip ok but they are a new tyre only a few weeks old, so until they loose a bit of there tread u wont really see much of the grip factor, but they seem pretty grippy for the price at the moment......

nankangs are about 30,000km old and still goin strong but they are on the fronts so not lossing traction at all which saves a bit of rubber.

Guys....get back on the subject.

New performance tyres under $300.

Not second hand for Fiddy bucks .

Or nankangs for hundred cause i don't go faster than hundred :laugh:

Hey guys well i took the advice of whoever said the falken 452's and im glad i did they are awesome. i dont know bout getting a set for $1100, but they are bloody good. i paid $326 per tyre, i only needed two, and they were 255/35/18. apparently they are falkens flagship tyre, overtaking the 451's, and im heaps happy.

i dont condone anything illegal and all that crap but just for measure, a corner i used to be able to take at about 80km/h i can now do at 110km/h and feel HEAPS more safer doing it, like no half sliding out or anything its like a go kart lol. wet handling is fairly good too, usually i avoided driving at all in the wet due to traction but i can use about half or two thirds throttle with no spin.

hope this helps anyone looking for tyres.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
