well GGG are the softs, I would say SG are probably even softer, like maybe a wet compound, or motokhana compound. ie, desinged to come up to temp very quickly.

i wouldn't worry about it too much, but if you were buying again I'd say go the G or GG.

Page 3 of this PDF goes into a bit of detail about the compounds and suitability.

Looks like SG is the softest compound. Should be suitable for a few hot laps at a time. Not ideal for hot track temps or too many laps without cool down.

they would be ok, but no where near as good as drag radials as the sidewalls of the toyos (like all circuit biased semi slicks) is soo stiff it doesn't give that great launch you can get with the drag radials.

hmm.....

I havent used mine yet - I got the ones from St George tyres

But I guess for my sort of usage - i.e. 'kharna's and few track days - Im not that quick on the pace nor do I go "that" hard - Im confident they'll be perfect for my useage

but of course, I'll keep you all updated when I finally get them on for a session or 11ty :)

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would stick my head in and mention that the Tyres being sold from Taleb Tyres were not sourced through Toyo Tyre and Rubber Australia.

The following is an abstract taken from an official bulletin released from Toyo Tyre and Rubber Australia.

"Toyo Tyre & Rubber Australia Limited has been importing very small quantities of Proxes R888 with the "GGG" compound, in the 195/55R15 size only, for specific users through Toyo motor sport tyre dealers. "GGG" compound tyres have only been provided to users after the motor sport tyre dealer & Tyre Technical Department have identified the using conditions as being suitable for this tread compound."

"Retailers and wholesalers of parallel import Proxes R888 tyres are not specialist Toyo motor sport tyre dealers and are therefore unlikely to have the knowledge to advise Toyo motor sport tyre dealers and are therefore unlikely to have the knowledge to advise end users regarding the product that is best suited to their application. Most importantly,it is unlikely that end users purchasing parallel import Proxes R888 tyres know the tread compound of the tyres they are purchasing. "GGG" & "SG" tread compound tyres are suitable for a very narrow range of using conditions. It is unlikely that end users purchasing parallel import Proxes R888 tyres with "GGG" & "SG" tread compounds will have tyres that are suitable for their using conditions, and therefore are likely to be disappointed with the performance of these tyres."

Not saying don't buy them guys, but be careful >_<

Cheers,

Dan.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
