Hey everyone, didnt wanna start a new thread

Where do I buy federal 595's from?

I live in perth, so locally would be nice, but if it was a fair bit cheaper online that would be okay too ...

Putting them on ROTA G - Force + 35 offset in gunmetal grey :blink:

looking at 245/40 for the tyres, all 4, would rather be able to rotate tyres etc

cheers everyone

Highly recommend the 595's!

I got them about a month ago and they are an awesome street tyre.

Go with option1, even with postage you wont find cheaper, and extremely good service to boot!

What width are your rims?

I'm running 18x9 +35's and went with 255/35's. They are the perfect width for 9 inch rims and look sweet!

You'll find 245/40's have a much larger diameter than stock (595's however don't come in 245/35's) where as 255/35's are as near as dammit exact.

thanks for the replies everyone :blink:

the wheels will be 18 x 9, 5x114.3 +35 so basically the same as yours Bomba :P

our rims also look kind of similar hahaha

ill make sure to check out the 255/35, i didnt really want anything too thin though, 255 isnt too wide? i was recommended 245/40s by the guys at tyrepower etc to be a somewhat practical size

You'll find 255/35's aren't too "thin", as far as ride harshness I can hardly notice the difference between them and the stocko's. If you look at the comparison pic the side wall is still quite tall.

As for option1 not having them, they don't show all the sizes on the site. If you email option1 during business hours (or contact them through their thread on here) you'll find they'll either have them or will be getting them in shortly. They order frequently and if they are out it wont be long until they have some again.

Again I highly recommend the 595's in 255/35's, they fit spot on.

FYI tyres fit differently depending on brand, for example Kumho KU31's in 255's look the same as 595's in 265's (too baggy for 9inches).

Have you considered the Kumho's??? I was going to get them in 245/35's until I saw the 595 255's on my rims, mmmmmm sexy!

hey does anybody know where to get tyres fitted/balanced in perth?

a guy at maximum motorsport said that it'd cost 10-15 bucks (not too sure if he meant per tyre though ..)

and tyrepower up in osb park quoted me 160

whats the usual prices paid to get the rims fitted with tyres and balanced etc?

so far for a set of 595s locally itll cost me 235 per tyre .. 940 total cost fitted/balanced

but if i order from option 1 its 160 per tyre, and 115 bucks delivery, so a total cost of 755 for the tyres ...

if its gonna cost more than 100 bucks to fit and balance i really might as well just get em locally?

Thanks everyone :)

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
