im not after the best quality tyre out there, well put it this way i had nankangs in the past & i was happy with them.

regards,

marko.

im more focused on cost rather than performance - great link though, thanks

This is the whole point of the thread.

People compare tyres & prices.. If you know the tyres in the size that you are looking for search the thread and people usually post the prices up as well..

eg:

Handco(k K104 sport "Y" rated (300km)

dry 9/10

wet 8.5/10

value A+++

great handling tyre cost $230 for a 255/40/17 From JAX!!

;)

Am also interested as I am looking for a set of Falken 452 which are pretty much the best tyre in its price range.

Tempe has been cheapest so far but their service is terrible. Jobsons in Parra is not too far off, probably better service too haha

Anyone else have ideas?

Id rather pay more than use tempe again

I thought the same mate. I recently bought Falken FK452's in 265x18 .. Rang around everywhere ELSE but Tempe fearing their quality of service and got quoted as high as $415.

Called Tempe in the end, they said $260 straight up and the guy was actually not a dick about it. He was a normal guy and got back to me when he said he would.

If you want to talk to someone good at Tempe ask for Max he's the guy I dealt with and his service and price was good.

When i asked for a discount on that price he chucked in fitting and balancing... which is quite a good deal I reckon...

Don't write off Tempe imo...

Get these mate, i've got the them and for the price they're bloody awesome!!!

What are "THESE" mate?? Ill be up for a set in the next month or so too..... So i'm keen :yes:

bloody awesome in comparison to what exactly? :)

they sound like cheap chinese tyres.. have you had any other tyres on your car?

I've had a couple of good experiences with Tempe, they've always been nice to deal with in the times that i've been there. Although they definitely dont fit the type of people I like to deal with, I've never had a negative experience there either. Just dont expect a coffee and cookies on arrival. They're business is wheels and tyres, they are the cheapest and they know it. The arrogance shows occasionally!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
