the federal's are exactly that, cheap tyres, they wont last any where near as long or even grip as good as a good quality tyre such as these, you get what you pay for, and that's the truth when it comes to tyres. a $50 tyre is no where near as good as a $150 tyre thats why there is the price difference, any person with half a brain could figure that out.

^^ that mad no sense at all..

the federal 595SS are used by australias BEST drifters in Drift Australia.

They do countless laps of frying tires with 400+ hp applications with no dramas.

The also use other brand like toyo kumho ect but not one driver use the tires u are trying to sell.

Drift is only ONE example, the nexen n3000 is used on hand made MG cars, lots of mx5s owners use them on motokahana days ect.

The tyre your trying to flog off for top dollar is not worth anywhere near your asking price.

drifting is not gripping. these are not tyres to go frying around a race course side wards, these are tyres that grip to a surface. You know why F1 cars use bridgestones and not federals or nexens, because they dont grip. two different tyres for two different intended applications.

Now if you wanna be a smart ass, go piss off and be a smart ass elsewhere.

ahhahaha f1 cars use bridgestone because bridgestone has the market power to control whatever they like.

the bridgestones on the f1 cars are MUCH different then the pissy tyres ur trying 2 sell.

drifting as all about grip. the grippier tyres you have, you can go faster n have more control throughout the corner.

as i said, thats only one example.

plus who the hell would buy a tyre with 55 profile lol! the car will feel like its floating

Mastadd,

Dude I feel for you. The ER300's your trying to sell are a top shelf street tyre thats why they're expensive and with tyres you really do get what you pay for. The $135 price tag is cheap, almost as cheap as I get them at cost from the factory.

If you had 225's for sale rather than 205's they would have sold ages ago and your thread wouldn't have been hijacked.

I'm amazed that anyone compares Federal with Bridgestone as they are in general 2 completely different tyres. Federals are usually a hard compound tyre which last longer but with less grip + noisier. Bridgestone are generally softer, therefore grippier and quieter but don't last as long.

Good luck with the sale, some-one must need a set.

Obviously you have no idea about maintaining a relatively stock rolling diameter for certain vehicles...

Also I don't understand why you would compare these two tire manufactures? Who cares! Also price is irrelevant when comparing different types of tires and manufactures.

Bottom line, price he's asking for these BRIDGESTONE TURANZA ER300's (not your so called Federal 595SS used by australias BEST drifters in Drift Australia :( ) are cheap. Have you rang around to get quotes?

Anyway, back to the original post. I'm keen to grab a pair. Although they are cheap as, any further negotiation possible?

Cheers,

Andy

Thanks guys! Finally people who get it!!!

As for the sale price, i really really dont wanna drop them any more then what they are, but if you can help find me someone who wants the other pair then maybe we can work something out, ill pm you with an offer.

Cheers

keyboard warriors who think they know stuff but talk out of their arse amuse me. good luck with the sale, they sound like quality tyres and I'd be keen except I'm in Sydney and shipping is too much of a pain.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
