Depends on your budget and what you're after. As said, Option 1 will give closest to the best (if not the best) deal for Kuhmo and Federals locally. But if you want something like the Bridgestones/Michelin etc, try importing from Tirerack in the states. I got a set of Michelin PS2 there for the price of the Federal RSR locally.

Just check to ensure your wheel nuts are put on tight I got new tyres and all the bolts were barely hand tight

I had the opposite issue, had i got a flat i'd hvae been boned.

Well, maybe. The thickness of the sidewall on the RSR's makes me wonder if i'd just be able to use it as a run flat :yucky:

That's fairly common from tyre shops - they just smash them on with a rattle gun :(.

It's not recommended. They roll OK but it ruins the tyre, and they aren't cheap...

Have heard it happen a few times (once was a mates diff and they didn't put the main bolts that hold it to the car back in so just banged around) just check them before you leave and should all be sweet. Good pricing though.

  • 2 weeks later...

I had the same experience with option1 garage...got 4 new tyres as price on federals was good but noticed a strange rattling sound on the way home. Turns out that on the drivers side front I had a bolt flying around held in only by the plastic stock centre cap...another bolt was loose, half on...drivers back tyre was the same, a bolt totally off and others loose.

WTF? Scared me as I was about to go on a trip up the SC...Planned to have other stuff done but haven't gone back since because of the workmanship (or lack thereof).

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
