[Grace-R33]

awesomee!

im going in at 1 today to get some on and an alignment so if they look nice and shiny ill put a pic up

[Grace-R33]

yay new feet!

i ended up getting kumhos they cost like $200 a tyre

theyre sticky

[R DIRTY 3]

I dont mind the Kumho's. Great value for money.

[NA_Goodness]

Nice one! Sticky tyres are good

[Levi_]

Federal 595SS's are good tyres for a good price, I pay retail of under $200 a corner from a local tyre joint. Oh and they take quite a hammering too

Mind if I ask what local tyre place that is? Interested in getting some 595's but can't find many places in WA that have them. According to Federal's site, there aren't any dealers in WA, which we all know is a lie.

bubba

what size were the federals you got?

[bubba]

I run 225/45/17 at the front and 235/45/17 at the back (they didn't have any 245s ).

I think the name of the place is Watts Western Rubber or something, it's on Guildford Rd like 2 streets from my house and is painted up yellow and black with Dunlop logos.

My vote has to be Federal 595SS - good grip and wear surprisingly well, best value tyre I have ever tried (and god knows I have tried many, from R comps to cheap crap)

^^ +1

These 595SS's wear REALLY well.. I've smoked my rears up plenty of times and I'm still astounded by how much tread is left on there lol

[R34GTTSKY]

Best tyres i used on my 33 last time was the Bridgestone Potenza G3's... Man those f**king tyres stick to the road even when its really wet! I only started sliding around when theres only like 50% tread left..

They don't come cheap though.. if I have not mistaken I got a set for about $1400+wheel alignment 2 1/2 years ago...

+1 for g3's got them n ma work honda hahaha need grip for deliveries

hell grippy even in wet weather too

n just lettin you know it's a shame but i think bridgestone have replaced the g3's with something else cna't member wot it's called

or even try yokohamas es100 if they stull make it grippy as

my 2c worth

ps: dont not ever go for ling longs

I had linglongs once.. they last long time.. because they're so fkn hard! Would spin 4th in the wet, 3rd in the dry and step out round wet corners without any throttle

[NA_Goodness]

Sounds like my stockies :thumbsdown: lost it around a corner with no acceleration and wouldn't pull back in

[bubba]

Oh with my diff it will always pull back straight, but I think it was also partly the diff causing it to step out in the first place

[seul_avec]

Im gonna have to replace my tyres soon .... any suggestions ?? Brendan said to get Goodyear F1's .... Rhys i didnt know Sumitomo

are like quite good tyres ... they were on my front when i got the car .... Sumitomo HTR Z II i think ... how much would it cost tho ??

235/45/17 ... and how do we determine what width to go with ?

[Tezzah]

tyrepower in kenwick had 595SS in 235/45 17's on special for $140 each!!!!!

They dont have the special anymore, but they are around $180.
