Anyone bought new tyres recently.

I need 2 x 235/45/17

i am not sure on secondhand but hey if its decent and cheap then yeah thats fine

bit otherwise and cheapish but decent tyres for everyday use that wont be waterskis

actually 235 or 255 cos the rears are 17x8 or 8.5

i got 2 decent toyo proxies so i prolly only need 2

does anyone have opinions on tyres

no not nittos too expensive at this stage

thanks skyzer, 20,000 huh...hmmm thats roughly 12 months for me I think, that's how long my current crappy no name brand tyres have lasted ;) and they're really starting to wear on the insides of the rears.

Anyone know the price and availability on 2 x 235/45/17 and 2 x 255/40/17 Nittos? I heard Jash had some coming in and i think $370 was the price but I have no idea what sizes he was getting or how many.

I think even top quality tyres will wear the insides of the rears if you have a camber problem.

I'd say your car has been lowered without any camber correction.

Get Wilkinson Suspension to correct this before wearing out new tyres prematurely. You'll get better traction too.

For a cheapish tyre try Kumho 512's from Wanneroo Tyrepower for less than $200 last time I bought. Sure there is better if you want to spend the money ,depends on how you use the car.

Cheers

paul hook me up man

pm with what you got nowdays

but i am guessing i will need to new rears, cos I will move the 2 toyo proxies to the front as they are like 75% or somefin,

so yeah hmm maybe even 255's

or 245's etc

anyways you know your S HIT

The Simex tyres are quite good for the rear tyres, if wide enough.

Get a 50/55 profile for the back.

For front tyres go a tyre with more sidewall strength, not simex.

If you got some $$ then the 540's are mint. Mat (whatsisname) has some and we took his car for a belt (very quick) and very little traction lost at all once warm.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
