Sold Out!!

yes I had 300 tires - all sold

No I do not work for dunlop

No I do not work for a tire shop

Yes I have a mate that I am selling them for, he got 400 tires and rims from last years XR6, has sold the rims, and 100 tires are not what I class as good to sell, maybe just for commodore drivers to rip up, thats about it. The remaining 300 have the small imperfections as shown in the photo, the sidewall is not damaged, and the tires are still road legal, they are factory seconds.

Hope this helps

Some have slight imperfections, as pictured below, nothing worse than this.

Oi dude, can see ya lurking. How's about if I sort with Toll to pick up the tyres? All you gotta do is tie a bit of string around four of the buggers.

Can't be too hard. So, exactly what sort of Dunlop SP Sport are they? I've been checking and there are several different tyres under that heading, ranging from AP3000's to Maxx's. Which ones you got? Are they seconds or top notch?

What's Dunlop's policy on them? Still kosher for road use or are we on our own if something goes wrong? What about legality?

Yeah I've seen the pic. Just making sure my arse is gonna be covered before I think about parting with cash.

The imperfections were made by dunlops claw machine whilst picking up the tires, they are still road legal.

Your right, they came out factory on the XR6 last year, however not many were sold and therefore there are heaps of tires left over..rims already sold...

    • 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.
