Try Eagle Tyres in Granville ( 9637 4355 ). Last time I was there they had Kumho Ecsta 712 in 235/40 ZR18 for $250 each. Not a bad tyre and mine have lasted >35000kms so far with a few track days thrown in for good measure.

They also had Dunlop W10 for $360, Falken 326 for $240 and falken 512 for $260 ( all in 235/40/18 ).

Or alternately you could go to BobJane or Beaurepaires and pay over $500 a tyre for something like Dunlop SP9000 or Bridgestone Potenza S03's. Great tyres but I know where I'll be going for my next set. This is, however, assuming you're not after the ultimate in tyre technology/price.

thanks guys, 18's r such a hassle they tend to go bold on the inside for the front tyres for some reason, i was told this was the case when u have big wide tyres.

As for wat width i dont have a clue but i use to have 265's at the back and it was snug, so i assume 9" or so?

Oh yea i found some cheap as tyres at AJR in sefton although they r second hand i got a pair of Michelin pilot sport 245/40/18 for 140 a piece with about 80% tread.

    • 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.
