Looking to get a couple of new tyres for the stag. Tyre size is 235/45/17 (if i recall correctly!). Last place i went was Tyre Power on Magill Rd, I've been told Blackwood Tyre Power is a good place to go to. Any ideas where i should go? Looking to spend about $100-$150 per tyre. Recommendations on reasonable priced vendors? thanks.

maxxis z1 ftl :( noooooo grip!

I rate them ;) (Maxxis Vectra MA-Z1) good grip wet or dry, close to my Bridgestone SO3's

I also believe they rate well in most comparison tests, and especially for the price (half of the SO3 price)

Craig, your problem could be suspension rather than rubber.

I'd personally be allowing a good $1000 for all round rubber.

yeh that's usually a good number for 17-18" tyres. i personally think at least around $200ea new, unless ur drifting in low level comps.

just seems kinda like a waste to spend $$ on a performance car, then modify the power and suspension only to put shitty tread on it and cancel it all out because u have f**k all grip.

Agree with both of the above.

Maxxis rated well in independant tests; are silicon based; have an agressive tred pattern (asthetics); and had a good price (just over $200 each for a 17" tyre).

    • 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.
