Hi All,

What compound Re55s have you used? I am about to order a set for the GTR to hopefully last the QR Timeattack season. I assume Hard is the go? ANy experiences with different compounds would be great to hear?

Any help appreciated.

Michael

TT = Medium Soft

WT = Soft

SR = Hard

try for SR2 if you can. though I've hardly ever seen them here. :) otherwise SR is fine.

good to see you back in a GTR big boy. now get down here, it's only been about 5 years since I've seen your pretty face!

i havent been able to find cheaper re55s in brisbane than amec either.

i didn't say I had never seen them. I said I hardly ever see them. haven't bought a new set of tyres for a while now, but for a long time after SR2 was available OS they were still selling SR here. I guess things have changed now which is good, but I mentioned is as no one else did. :)

why is there a huge difference between prices within the same rim size?

16 inch tyres

205/55/R16 $329

205/50/R16 $400.50

225/50/R16 $280

225/45/R16 $400

especially the last 2? typo?

Some are used as a control tyre in certain race catagories and hence the volumes sold are high - which consequently brings prices down. I know all the EVO guys were gutted because Bridgestone recently lost the rights to one of these control tyres so their prices all got jacked up heaps.

    • 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.
