Need 2 new rear tyres to keep those friendly law enforcement officers at bay;

Nankang NS2's 255/40/17 - $170 each fitted and balanced - Brisbane mobile tyres

Maxxis 255/40/17 MA-Z4S - $239 each fitted and balanced - Bob Jane Tmart

I have the maxxis ones at the moment, never heard of nankangs. Question being... are nankangs any good or is it worth paying extra for the maxxis? Or is there somewhere else I should be out?

thanks

Nangkangs and Maxxis are a cheap everyday driving tyre which are not the greatest but will do the job if you are a sedate driver. If you plan on modding ur car HP wise, then try the Federals or even the Falken FK452. Both should be under the $300 mark each for those sizes and should keep you sufficiently safe on the road.

Where's the best place around Brisbane for Federals?

Jax Quickfit at Rocklea is the guy I go through, he gets his supply from Neta (who won't sell straight to individuals) always had the 595 RS's fkn brill tyre, just don't go hoofing it til their warm. Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

+1 for Federals you want cheap and good. for something top of the line.

Dunlop SportMaxx i think they are called....well worth the money for the grip. My next tyre will be those or semi slicks.

There is a massive thread in the suspension section. Should check that out.

BTW, as a defensive driving instructor we tell everyone to buy the best tyres you can afford. Best doesn't mean most expensive either.

I mean I love the dunlop SP Sport Maxx, but they arent cheap, and they don't last all that long even with my fairly sedate driving. So wear needs to be an issue to think about. On the cefiro it isnt, the Jetta it will be.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
