Heyas.

I'm currently looking for some tyres for my new wheels. After some decent 235x35x18. Tried my local Tyrepower, but the lady there told me i was making up tyre sizes, and went on to argue with me when i proved her wrong on multiple topics. So i won't be buying tyres off them... ever.

I realise they aren't a common tyre size, but any propper sports tyre brand will make them.

Anyway, i'm in the western suburbs, NOR.. Looking for somewhere that does decent tyres. Thought i'd find out where most of you go.

Any suggestions appreciated.

- Steve

I use Brad @ West Coast Wheels

He is located in Mandurah. Tell him your coming from Perth and he will look after you on price. Its a nice cruise down there any way :teehee:

Tell him Brad from WA suspensions sent you...he will sort you out.

I got some from tyrepower just recently, asked for 225x50x17... they didn't have stock but got some in ready for my booking. Came out with 225x45x17... didn't care enough to go back and complain especially when I don't even know the difference between 50/45 etc. I'm guessing it's the width of the tyre?

it's the aspect ratio of the tyres.. depicts the height of the tyre wall as a % of the width.

ie, your tyres you asked for were 112.5mm tall, the ones you got were 101.25mm

haha that's no good! I only got the rear tyres changed, the front tyres are still 50's.

Edit: just checked my tyres then and the fronts are 45's, so it's all good. I thought they all used to be 50's but it must have just been the rear tyres.

Any1 know where i can reasonable tread pattern 19" rubber from? 2/245 and 2/285

i just looking for something with V pattern and not that huge price!

:(

Best bet is probably some Federals. Have to get 595s for 19" .. probably looking at $350 a tyre (for the 245s) . They're a good looking well performing tyre.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
