hey Joe u thought about putting bigger tires on the back then on the front.

So if u can get 2 good tyres put em on the front and put new ones on the back till u "wear em in" :burnout: then do it again:)

Hmm maybe this is me thinking out loud:confused: But im pretty sure u can put wider tires on stock rims. Gradenko did it:uh-huh:

Boostzor, i don't think ATESSA likes having different sized tires front and rear, it wants identical widths all the way around.

I just found out today that I need new tires as well (rears). Tire place I was at (Ian Diffen Canning Vale) had 2nd hand tires to suit out rims for $35 each. Might want to try that pva, if half tread is all you need.

Jesus Joe, that was weeks ago... they may have them still but if they don't, plenty of other tyre joints sell 2nd hand rubber. Ring around.

Don't you think you should replace them soon? If nothing, it'll save you from a yellow sticker and a $75 fine.

Haha :bahaha:

Joe, those tyres you have on are waaaaaaay to bald, i swear those front tyres have no corners on them and are smooth. I saw them months ago and needed changing then, lol. Its no wonder it gets so sideways around roundabouts, in the dry. It's not worth risking it, especially when you need those tyres for braking. Unless you can find some half decent 2nd hand rubber, i say fork out for some new tyres :P

insurance doesnt cover you if crash with non-australian spec tyres, its considered as unroadworthy

joe if you wonah be stingy just go out at night and take the tyres out of the tyre shops bins (yes this has been done before) but if i were you id just buy some 205s they cant be that expensive

      Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
