Hey guys can anyone tell me what the load rating on a S1 Stagea should be?

Just about to head out to buy some new tyres as the tyre walls on the current tyres have collapsed.

Tyres are going on 17" R34 GTT rims but I wouldn't think it makes a difference.

Ok mum's home, going off the placard inside the drivers door.

"The tyres fitted to this vehicle shall have a max load rating not less than 580kg or load index of 89 and a speed catagory not less than H (210km/h)"

Recommended inflation pressure:

front: 200 kPa, (29PSI)

rear 220kPa (32PSI)

previous tyres were higher than this so dunno why they collapsed.

ill get some pics.

I bought some R34 rims for the stag and they came with WANLI tyres with about 80% tread. I think some of the sidewall damage may have already been there before I bought the rims but it definately got worse since we put them on.

"Made in China" and tyres are dangerous combinations for powerful, heavy cars like the Stagea. Chuck them or keep em for a burnout comp. Not something we should ever skimp on. Bought mine with some cheapies onboard, first rain shower I was skating, quality jap tyres fixed that.

I'm pretty sure whatever was put on the car at compliance would have been checked for load rating, and its not like they will kill you just because they are made in China.

Not saying they will kill you, but in an emergency situation I know what i want on my feet.

Chinese products never lie, they are renowned for their quality and truthfullness in their description. Im sure their load rating was rigorously tested. :thumbsup:

    • 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.
