I have Nexen N6000 on mine. Brand new came with the car when I bought it from the dealer. They are not bad for what they cost. Slightly more road noise at high speed and rough surfaces compared to expensive stuff like the Bridgestones. Grip is good and they are comfortable. Can't say much about the wear as I have got them for 2 months.

Just a heads-up on purchasing all, I just got my rear set of Hankook K110s from www.tirerack.com and they cost me $311 shipped for 285/30/19. The cheapest quote I got for the same tyre was $430 locally. Shipping cost for four tyres to Melbourne (25km-metro) was around $250 USD.

Also it seems the Bridgestone RE001 Adrenaline in America is called the Bridgestone RE760 Sport and they're really cheap compared to local prices. If you can afford to spend a wee bit more, the Yoko AD08s are awesome value.

The only catch is some credit cards that are not on the "Verified by VISA" program will not be approved and you'll have to make a USD wire transfer, which can usually be done for a small fee by your bank.

Delivery was done by fed-ex and they arrived within a week of payment. I will definitely be buying all my tyres from these guys from now on (except my Advan A050s seeing they don't have them).

That's because the RE760s aren't the same as RE001s. The tread pattern is the same, but the tyre compound isn't.

The RE760s have a treadwear of 340, whereas the RE001s treadwear at 220.

Hi Guys,

i bout some new ku31's for $200 each from Option1 garage (225/40 R19 and 245/40 R19)

7 Remora St Hamilton QLD 4009 Phone: +61 7 3268 1113 Fax: +61 7 3268 2028

then just email/call and discuss price, i got them delivered to the comliance shop and even they couldnt get them at that price so they were a little shocked. I bought them about 2 months ago and cant complain, even in today wet weather the car hasn't slipped out on me as yet but a little bit noisy but its not annoying, any tyre will produce noise.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

ahhh time to buy tyres again.

Just bought 295/30/19 Pirelli P-Zero. $900 each :P lucky its only for the rear so i only needed 2, the fronts got a bit more left on em but i need to replace soon.

The negative 2.5 degrees camber has been eating away at my tyres, the price u pay for the look :P

Shit thing is i cant swap / rotate the 295's, but the 265/30/19 on the front i can swap them from each rim.

Yeah, the v35 sucks with the largish camber. Can't really square them up without getting aftermarkets. I'm running -2 on the rears.

For some reason, one side could go to -0.5 and the other side couldnt get under -2 :S

Previous owner(s) must've hit the kerb pretty hard or something?

My car comes with i think the stock Bridgestone Potenza. Anyone know how good they are compared to those tyres mentioned here? Thanks!

Think there are quite a few potenzas? What model. Think it reads RE002 or something?

All I know is that the Potenza is a fairly expensive tyre!

Running on faulken f452's ATM, not bad but it is uneven tyre wear that will make any tire make noise. I am running on 350Z nismo suspension at the moment and the camber is doing a good job of eating the inside of the tyres.

The rims I got originally came with Bridgestone S02's & T02's, the T's are a run flat, which was disappointing when I had a blow out, hence the change, but the bridgestones were better grip wise.

I have had moments with the current tyres in the wet when you can feel that the ABS is going to start, and yet on the old Bridestones you could almost put your foot to the firewall and you just stop, without that felling that the ABS is about to jump in.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
